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.

Vane Brothers tug Wye River, 18 years old and 4,200 HP, came up the North River on Wednesday afternoon with a products cargo loaded on a Vane barge heading for the Sunoco terminal in Rensselaer. I have not seen Wye up here since the winter of 2025 and she may have been working out of the Delaware River terminals which is where she came up from earlier in the week. By Saturday morning, Wye is back in New York Harbor at the Vane base in Gowanus Bay/Red Hook.
