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.

Working the river

Kristin Poling came down the North River on the ebb Tuesday evening with the light Edwin A. Poling barge, having left anchorage off Yonkers where she spent a few days after completing a run up to a terminal in Rensselaer.

The 5,000 HP Kristin is the biggest of Poling & Cutler’s five tugs and we more often see her paired with the company’s larger Eva Leigh Cutler barge coming back from runs out on the Sound but lately she has been running upriver with the Edwin A, perhaps because the Marilyn George tug is out of service. Kristin brought the barge to the Bayonne IMTT where she reloaded overnight and was already heading back upriver again Wednesday morning with a new cargo.
