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.

Metal and salt

Carver Marine tug Daisy Mae (9-years old, 3,200 HP) returned to the harbor on Friday morning with a hopper loaded with scrap metal, along with a few light hoppers one of which still had some of what I assume is salt visible along the gunnel. Carver tugs have been ferrying huge amounts of salt upriver this month, most of it lightered off bulk ships from Egypt which anchor in the Upper Bay. Daisy had joined that conveyer belt a few days before, as seen in the last photo, heading northbound at sunset on Wednesday as seen in the fourth photo.
