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 Sound Pearl, Bahamas-flagged and 615 feet in length, came down the North River at sundown Saturday evening, heading for anchorage in the Upper Bay after discharging a cargo at the Port of Coeymans. She had arrived there from Iskenderun, Turkey and I don’t know her cargo but a guess would be that it could have been gypsum, bauxite or some other input to the cement manufacturing process.
