The Marshall Islands flag bulk ship SSI Providence came up the North River on Tuesday morning, arriving from the UK in ballast. She was heading for the Sims Metal dock at the Port of Albany and will likely be loading scrap for export overseas.
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.
