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.

FDNY Marine Company 1 took the North River fireboat, the Three Forty Three, out for a spin on Friday morning, passing the anchored Josephine/RTC 80 Reinauer ATB unit at anchor at slack tide. The fireboat travelled just north of the GW Bridge before returning to their Pier 53 base in the old meat market district. Monday morning finds Three Forty Three visiting the marine battalion base at Brooklyn Navy Yard, while Josephine is off the Delaware coast, en route to Jacksonville.
