Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

In early February, the B. Franklin Reinauer/RTC 81 ATB, a 347-foot 86,000 barrel barge paired with a 4,000 HP tug, came down the North River returning to the harbor from delivering a products cargo in Newburgh. The barge seemed unusually ballasted down in the stern, perhaps to improve performance in the ice, though that could be wrong and readers please feel free to correct me in the comments as always if it is.
