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 Morgan Reinauer/RTC 100 ATB, a 4,000 HP tug with a 100,000 barrel barge, was outbound on the North River on Wednesday afternoon with the barge light, heading for the Bayonne IMTT. The unit has been servicing terminals in New Haven and Providence over the past week but came up the North River early Wednesday to anchor for a few hours before heading to load new cargo.
