Closing out winter

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.

Closing out winter

A pair of Centerline Logistics tugs made late-winter runs upriver from the harbor up to terminals on the Rensselaer side this week. Andrea’, who I’ve seen in the past servicing the Con Ed fuel dock at North River Pier 98, returned to the harbor on Tuesday, with the Stoddard Sea, a barge I haven’t seen before. The next day, The Beatrice returned and took up anchorage off Guttenberg with the Marc N barge, with the barge’s paint showing the effects of a tough ice season.

I used to see The Beatrice regularly back in 2024 with the Patsy Paulie barge, but not much since, while I saw the Marc N on the North River sometimes last year paired with Adeline Marie.
