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.

Birds of a feather

More than one big ocean-going ATB came up the North River to anchor during Monday night’s storm. In addition to Kirby’s Sea Hawk/ATC 21 unit featured on Tuesday, we also had Moran’s Barney Turecamo/Georgia at anchorage up in Yonkers with the barge looking loaded. The 5,100 HP tug and 427-foot 110,000 barrel barge Moran unit is not as big as the Kirby pair but still on the large end of what we typically see on the Hudson. Barney passed the Sea Hawk on the way back to the harbor Tuesday afternoon. Both are back on the Kills as of Thursday morning.
