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.

Out-of-town tug Mr. Goldie came up the North River just after sundown on Monday evening, having spent a few days in New York Harbor upon arriving from the Gulf last week. The 2,700 HP tug owned by Marquette Transportation of Jefferson, Louisiana brought the CBC 4508 deck barge equipped with a bracket for securing some heavy equipment.

With the exposure dialed up in post, two crewmen are visible on the stern.

Goldie made a round trip from the Gulf Coast to Port of Albany in January with the similarly equipped CBC 4507 barge, returning south with what I believe were a pair of GE generators manufactured in Schenectady. This latest trip likely has a similar purpose as the marine highway continues to support the integration of our national economy as it has for 250 years and provides valuable transportation infrastructure for New York State manufacturers.
