DonJon’s Delaware Bay dredge prepared to dump a load of mud from the bottom of the North River by Pier 88 into a scow on Thursday. Seasonal dredging at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is underway to maintain 38 feet of depth at mean low water.
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.
