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.

The Lucy Reinauer/RTC 60 ATB unit, a 53-year old but significantly upgraded 4,300 HP tug paired with a 60,000 barrel barge, came up the North River in the rain on Sunday afternoon, passing the Gateway Tunnel worksite with a New York Harbor products cargo. They were headed for a terminal in Newburgh or Albany.
