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.

The Marshall Islands-flagged bulk ship St Greg, 625 feet long, came up the North River loaded with salt from Egypt to replenish municipal supplies depleted by the harsh winter. Some of the cargo was likely lightered off in the Upper Bay and brought up by barge ahead of the ship. St Greg was Coeymans-bound and she remains tied up at the port there Sunday morning.
