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.

Hello again, Number 5

Poling & Cutler’s Marilyn George is paired with the blue-trimmed borrowed barge Number 5 again this week, a combination we last saw in October of last year suggesting one of the other three barges P&C uses for its Hudson River runs might be out of service. Marilyn and Number 5 were Albany-bound on the North River with a New York Harbor products cargo at sunset on Tuesday, returning with the barge light on Thursday evening. By Friday evening, Marilyn was out on the Sound just past New Haven after calling at the Bayonne IMTT with a new cargo presumably loaded there.
