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 Mandal, a 35,000 deadweight ton Marshall Islands flagged tanker, was northbound on the North River on Memorial Day Monday, arriving from Emden, Germany and bound for the Innovative Surface Solutions plant in Glenmont, NY just south of Albany. The destination means the cargo is very likely to have been magnesium chloride, the principal ingredient in the de-icing solution manufactured by the company there on the site of a former Texaco fuel terminal.
