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.

Heading to work

Metropolitan Marine’s 1,900 HP tug Normandy came up the North River Thursday morning, passing Weehawken en route to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal where she would help bring a bunkering barge alongside the cruise ship Pacific World on the south side of Pier 88.


Vane’s Elk River followed a short time later with the tank barge which was left alongside the ship while Elk River waited at Pier 90 and Normandy returned to the Kills.


Pacific World is on a 107-day round the world cruise, having departed from Yokohama on April 7 and sailed west, calling at Reykjavik before reaching NYC this week. World departed late Thursday night en route to her next port of call in Jamaica and was off the Delaware coast by Friday morning.
