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.

Heading back home

Thursday morning found a tug and livery I have not seen before transiting down the North River. Construction company Mohawk Northeast’s 2,400 HP tug Bridgeport was returning light from the Rondout Creek in Kingston with a bone in her teeth heading back to the company’s base in Groton, CT. Along the way, she passed the Eva Leigh Cutler barge which has been at anchor off Guttenburg for the past few days with the tug Kristin Polling. Bridgeport likely left a barge at the Feeney Shipyard in Kingston for service, though I did not see her on the way so I can’t say for sure.

The shipyard gets vessels from up and down the coast in for work and provides some additional variety to the boats we see on the North River.
