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.

Stone run

Norfolk Tug’s George Holland came up the North River late afternoon Friday, passing the Stevens Institute on Castle Point in Hoboken with a light hopper heading for the Clinton Point quarry near Poughkeepsie. George returned on Sunday with a stone cargo heading for the materials dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and then continued out to Port Jefferson on Long Island Sound.

As of Monday morning, she is on Long Island Sound, returning from Port Jeff and signaling her next destination as back to Clinton Point. The quarry has long been a major supplier of stone for the construction industry in the New York region.
