Two of New York Harbor’s federal government boats met on the North River Monday, with the Coast Guard cutter Bonito overtaking the Army Corp of Engineers boat Moritz off West New York. Bonito, the current Sandy Hook patrol boat and the only white-hulled cutter based in New York Harbor, was returning to base from a daytrip upriver as far as Irvington. Moritz was returning to the Corp’s Caven Point base in Jersey City after a patrol which took her up the East River as far as the Throgs Neck Bridge and then back around the Battery and up the North River to the GW on the lookout for hazards to navigation.
