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.

Dann Marine’s Chesapeake Coast came up the North River with the Chesapeake barge loaded on Wednesday and anchored north of the bridge. Friday afternoon, the crew configured for towing astern and headed for the Narrows and out of town, heading south. By Saturday morning they are clearing Cape May.
