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.

A sail down to the Upper Bay Saturday found the GCS 230 barge stored on one of the moorings on the Greenville flats. We typically see GCS 230 tied up at North River Pier 98 during the winter months where it is used to hold backup fuel for Con Ed’s 59th Street steam plan, but that pier has been vacant since temperatures began warming this spring. GCS 230 was built locally, one of the last vessels to be constructed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
