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 bulk ship Icarian Spire, Bahamas-flagged, was exiting the North River on Tuesday afternoon, passing Hoboken and Jersey City and heading for sea. The 590-foot vessel was in ballast after discharging a cargo at the Port of Coeymans, possibly salt. She is signaling Savannah as her next port of call.
