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.

New York makes, the navy takes

NY State Marine Highway’s Sarah D took a break from her usual stone cargos to move a special tow down the North River on Saturday. Hopper barge 78 held a 100 ton condenser manufactured in western New York State and headed for a naval manufacturing site in Rhode Island, I believe to be installed on a submarine. The cargo was loaded on barge in Albion, NY, and then moved down the Erie Canal to Waterford and Troy with a canal sized tug where it was picked up by Sarah. As of Sunday morning, the tow is just off Point Judith and approaching its destination
