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.

Back to work at the Transfer Bridge

Jessica Frances, a small 600-HP twin screw tug based in Verplanck, picked up a crane barge at the North River Harlem piers and delivered it to the 69th Street Transfer Bridge restoration worksite. Frances single-handedly backed the big barge alongside the structure and then ran around to push her into place. Tuesday brought cold rain and hail but with temperatures set to warm and ice having cleared it seems that work on the project could be getting underway again soon.
