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 rose by any other name

A rose by any other name…Tuesday finds the ATB formerly known as Jordan Rose at anchor in the North River, now wearing @vanebrotherscompany livery and apparently renamed Castine and with the barge called Double Skin 550 rather than RCM 252. Vane acquired the Jordan Rose and Susan Rose ATB units this year from the owners of the Rose Cay Maritime fleet which ceased operations in 2025. The acquisition brings the number of ATBs in the Vane fleet to eight according to the company’s web site, and Jordan/Castine and Susan join the Charleston and Jacksonville ATB units also based in New York Harbor along with many conventional tugs.
