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.

At work and at rest

A week ago Monday found Dace Reinauer, 1968-vintage but much modified and updated over the years, Albany- and Newburgh-bound on the North River with a New York Harbor products cargo loaded on RTC 62. Along the way, she passed the Reinauer Twins/RTC 104 ATB at anchor off North Bergen after returning from a run up to Providence.

The Twins, built in 2011, has about 40% more horsepower than Dace and her barge has nearly 70% more capacity. A bit over a week later finds Dace tucked in at Erie Basin as thunderstorms move into the harbor while the Twins are at a terminal pier in Carteret on the Arthur Kill as the barge presumably loads a new cargo.
