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.

Out of town helper

Assist tugboats are in heavy demand in New York Harbor this week, with more than 40 tall ships and 40 naval vessels needing various degrees of docking or mooring help in addition to the normal activities of the Port of New York/New Jersey. It is not surprising that out-of-town tugs have been brought in, including Roderick McAllister normally based in Portland, Maine. The 59-year-old Roderick arrived in New York Harbor on July 1 and has been on hand at Pier 88 since Sunday, tied up alongside a tank barge which is servicing the USS Arlington LPD 24.
