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.

Norfolk Tug’s George Holland, 18 years old and 3,000 HP, was northbound on the North River with the company’s hopper barge Ellen on Tuesday morning. The tow was en route to the Clinton Point quarry just south of Poughkeepsie where they would likely be loading a stone cargo for delivery back in New York Harbor.
