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.

Help is on the way

When we see Moran Towing Corporation tugs leaving the harbor and traveling up the North River beyond the cruise terminal it usually means there is assist work to do at the wallboard plant up in Buchanan, New York. This was the case on Saturday when Margaret and Miriam Moran passed by on their way to help a bulk ship loaded with gypsum dock at the plant.

Margaret and Miriam were both built in 1979 in the same Louisiana shipyard and are veterans of the Moran fleet. The company’s powerful newer tractor tugs were hard at work in the harbor Saturday assisting container ships.
