Hudson River

Names

The names of the Hudson River, make a complicated story. It was called Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk, the Great Mohegan by the Iroquois, or as the Lenape Native Americans called it in Unami, Muhheakantuck.

In the early days of the European exploration Hudson River was known as the Mauritius. This is said to be the name given by Henry Hudson in honor of Prince Maurice of Nassau, but also says it is the name given by the sixteenth-century European adventurers, explorers and fishermen who knew him as Maurice River, "River of Mountains". [Citation needed]

The Hudson was named the "River of the North" by the Dutch called the Delaware River the "River of the South". The name "North River" was used in the city of New York until 1900, with limited continued use in modern times. The term persists in Radio communication between the commercial maritime traffic, especially below the Tappan Zee.

What was the English who originated using the name "Hudson" Hudson had found ecause the river, while exploring the Dutch.

Geography

The official source of the Hudson is Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondack Mountains. However, the waterway from Lake Feldspar is known as Brook and the River opalescent food in the Hudson River in Tahawus. The actual Hudson River begins several miles north of Henderson Tahawus Lake. Hudson joins Troy (north of Albany) by the Mohawk River, its major tributary, south of the dam separating Upper Federal Hudson River Valley in the Lower Rio Hudson, or simply the Hudson River Valley. The river then flows south, passing between the Catskill Mountains and Taconic Mountains, extending significantly Tappan Zee at finally flowing between the island of Manhattan and New Jersey Palisades and the Atlantic Ocean at New York Bay, an arm of the ocean where forms the port of New York.

The lower Hudson is actually an estuary, with tidal influence extending to the Federal Dam at Troy. The strong tides that parts of New York Harbor difficult and dangerous to navigate. During winter, ice floes drift south or north, depending on the tides. The name of the river Mahican, Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk, means " river that flows both ways. "[Citation needed] The Hudson is often mistaken for one of the largest rivers in the United States, but it is the largest estuary in of its length below Troy and therefore only a small fraction of fresh water, about 15,000 cubic feet (425 m) per second, is present. The average discharge of fresh water in the river mouth in New York is approximately 21,400 cubic feet (606 m) per second. The Hudson and its tributaries, especially the Mohawk River, drain a large area. Parts of the coves form the Hudson River in Hoboken and Weehawken Cove and Weehawken.

Hudson is sometimes called, in geological terms, a "drowned" river. Rising sea levels after the withdrawal of the Wisconsin glaciation, the ice age recently, have resulted in a marine incursion that drowned the coastal plain and brought salt water above the river mouth. The deeply eroded river bed age beyond the current shoreline, Hudson Canyon, is a rich fishing area. The river is first clearly delineated beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean extends to the edge of the continental shelf.

Notable landmarks on the Hudson include West Point, Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Bard College, Culinary Institute of America, Marist College, the Thayer Hotel West Point, Bannerman's Castle, Metro-North Railroad Hudson Line (formerly part of the New York Central Railroad), Tappan Zee's, the New Jersey Palisades, River Islands Hudson State Park, Hudson Highlands State Park, Sing Sing Correctional Facility, New York Military Academy Fort Tryon Park with The Cloisters, Liberty State Park, and Stevens Institute of Technology. Cities and towns in New Jersey side are Tenafly, Fort Lee, Edgewater, West New York, Weehawken, Hoboken and Jersey City. The cities of New York include Troy, Albany, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Glens Falls, Yonkers and New York.

The natural beauty of the Hudson Valley won the Hudson River the nickname the "Rhine of America", when compared with that of the famous 40 miles (65 km) stretch of Germany's Rhine Valley River between the towns of Bingen and Koblenz. A like 30 miles (48 km) stretch on the east bank of the Hudson River has been designated the Hudson River Historic District, a National Historic Landmark. The Hudson was appointed as one of the American Heritage Rivers in 1997.

The Narrows

The Narrows, a tidal current between the boroughs of New York Staten Island and Brooklyn, connects the upper and lower sections of the bay of New York. Long been considered the sea "Gateway" to New York and has historically been the most important entry in the port.

The Narrows were most likely formed 6,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. Previously, Staten Island and Long Island were connected, preventing the Hudson River termination through the straits. At that time, the Hudson River empties into the Atlantic Ocean through a more westward course through parts of northern New Jersey today, along the eastern side of the Watchung Mountains to Bound Brook, New Jersey and then into the Atlantic Ocean through the Raritan Bay. The accumulation of water in the Upper Bay finally allowed to break the Hudson River prior landmass that connects Staten Island and Brooklyn to form The Narrows as it exists today. This allowed the Hudson River to find a shorter route to the Atlantic Ocean through its present course between New Jersey and New York (Waldman, 2000).

River North

Main article: North River (Hudson River)

River North is an alternative name for the portion Hudson's southernmost usually refers to all or part of the pathway located between Manhattan and Hudson County. The colonial name given by the Dutch to the entire river in the seventeenth century, the term fell into disuse for most people who sometime in 1900, but still in use locally by sailors and others, and as in some charts and maps. The term also lives in the name of a variety of facilities such as docks North River, North River tunnels, and the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant, and has strong historical ties to the port of New York.

Haverstraw Bay

Haverstraw Bay, north of the Tappan Zee (the widest part of the river) is between Croton Point in the southeast and Haverstraw town in the northwest. Haverstraw Bay is a popular destination for recreational boaters and is home to many yacht clubs and marinas, including Croton Yacht Club, School Croton Sailing, Half Moon Bay Marina (Croton) Pennybridge Marina, Yacht Club Minisceongo, Stony Point Bay Marina, and Marina Haverstraw, Haverstraw, and is crossed by ferry-Ossining NY Waterway is.

Transport

The Hudson River is navigable for a distance of a mile above 0 (in 'N., 7401.5 '4042.1 W.) on drums. The original Erie Canal, opened in 1825 to connect the Hudson with Lake Erie, emptied into the Hudson River Basin Barcelona just three miles (5 km) south of Federal Dam at Troy (at km 134). The canal enabled shipping between cities of the Great Lakes and Europe through the Atlantic Ocean. The New York State Canal System, the successor to the Erie Canal, flows into the Hudson River north of Troy and the uses of Federal Dam as blocking a natural water courses wherever possible. The first railroad in New York, the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, opened in 1831 between Albany and Albany on the Mohawk River, enabling passengers to bypass the slower part of the Erie Canal.

In the north of Troy, the Champlain Canal separated from the Erie Canal and continued north along the west side of the Hudson River Thomson, where he crossed to the east side. At Fort Edward the left channel of the river Hudson, heading northeast to Lake Champlain. A barge canal is now separated from the Hudson at this point, having more or less the same way (also parallel to Delaware and Hudson Railroad Saratoga and Whitehall Railroad) to Lake Champlain in Whitehall. From Lake Champlain boats can continue north in Canada San Lorenzo.

The Hudson Valley also proved attractive for railroads, once technology evolves to a point which feasible to build the necessary bridges over streams. The Troy and Greenbush Railroad was founded in 1845 and opened that same year, running a short distance on the east side Troy and Greenbush (east of Albany.) The Hudson River Railroad was incorporated the next year as a continuation of the South Troy and Greenbush New York, and was completed in 1851. In 1866, the Hudson River Bridge opens over the river between Greenbush and Albany, enabling traffic between the railroad and the Hudson River in New York Central Railroad west of Buffalo. When the train Poughkeepsie Bridge opened in 1879, became the longest bridge in a single span in the world. On October 3, 2009, reopened as a pedestrian bridge over the Hudson River, under the fourth centenary celebrations of the Hudson River and connects more than 25 miles of walking trails exist.

New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railroad began in Weehawken Terminal and ran to the west bank of the Hudson as a competitor of the merged New York Central Railroad and the Hudson River. Construction was slow, and was finally completed in 1884, the New York Central purchased line next year.

The Bridge Bear Mountain Bear Mountain

The Hudson is crossed at many points by bridges, tunnels and ferries. The width of the lower Hudson River required major feats of engineering to cross, the results Today's visible in the Verrazano-Narrows Bridges and George Washington and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels and the road and fallopian Pennsylvania Railroad. The Troy-Waterford Bridge Waterford was the first bridge over the Hudson River, opened in 1809. The Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad was founded in 1832 and opened in 1835, including Green Island Bridge, the first bridge across the Hudson just south of Federal Dam.

Upper Hudson River Valley was also useful for railways. The sectors of the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad, Troy and Boston Railroad and north of Albany Railroad ran alongside the Hudson between Troy and Mechanicville. North Coast Mechanicville was stripped to Glens Falls, Glens Falls in the near railroad ran along the east coast. In Glens Falls Hudson turns west Corinth before continuing north to Corinth, Adirondack Railroad begins running down the west shore of Hudson. The original Adirondack Railway opened in 1871, ending North Arroyo along the River. In World War II Tahawus open to an extension, the site of valuable iron and titanium mines. The continuous extension along the river Hudson Hamilton County, then continued north, where the Hudson makes a turn toward the west across the Hudson River and running along the west bank Boreas River. South of Route Tahawus returned to the shore east of the Hudson River the rest of the way to completion.

Note that above is used to kill is the Dutch word for creek. Obviously, this can cause confusion, since killing is an English word with an entirely different meaning. Sometimes the original, Dutch colonial name remains, as in Poestin Mata. Sometimes, the Dutch name is redundant in combination with the English word, as Fishkill Creek (Fish Creek Creek, a stream is not named after the fish kills).

Theodore Roosevelt's historic route

On September 14, 1901, then Vice President Theodore Roosevelt went to the break of Lake of the Clouds after returning from a walk the summit of Mount Marcy when he received a message that President William McKinley, who had been shot two weeks earlier but was expected to survive, had taken a turn for the worse.

Roosevelt rose to 10 miles (16 km) southwest side of the mountain to the station stage near Long Lake, New York. Then he took a 40-mile (64 km) stage midnight bus ride through the twisting roads of the Adirondack Adirondack The train station in North Creek, where he discovered that McKinley had died. Roosevelt took the train to Buffalo, New York, where he was officially sworn in as president.

The 40 miles (64 km) route has been designated the Roosevelt-Marcy Trail.

Pollution

In 1966, Pete Seeger and Toshi Seeger founded the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. This is both an environmental education organization and an actual boat (a sailboat) that promotes awareness of the river and its history. Clearwater has won national recognition for her activism from the 1970s to force a cleanup of contamination Hudson River PCBs, caused by the manufacturing industry by General Electric Corporation (GE) and other companies in the riverbank.

GE Hudson Falls and Fort Edward facilities discharged between 209,000 pounds (95,000 kg) and 1.3 million pounds (590,000 kg) of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the river from 1947 to 1977. In 1976 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) banned all fishing in the Upper Hudson due to health problems with PCBs. In 1983, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared a 200-mile (322 km) stretch of the river at Hudson Falls to New York, to cleaning a site Superfund requires. GE started dredging operations to clean the PCB on May 15, 2009.

In 1980, Consolidated Edison agreed to withdraw its 17-year struggle to build a hydroelectric plant pumped storage in the Storm King Mountain. This action prompted the Riverkeeper program that became a worldwide organization, the Waterkeeper Alliance.

Other issues affecting the river pollution are accidental wastewater discharges, urban runoff, heavy metals, furans, dioxins, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

A study published in the August 2008 issue of Toxicology and Environmental Chemistry suggests that mercury in fish from the Hudson River policy, including the bass, yellow perch, bass, smallmouth bass and carp, has been reduced dramatically over the past three decades. The conclusions were drawn from a large database analysis of mercury in fish fillets collected and accumulated by NYSDEC much of the length of the Hudson in New York City waters of the Adirondack watershed. Research indicates that the trends are in line with the recovery the Hudson River has experienced over the past decades, now that activist groups, government officials and industry are beginning to cooperate help clean up the river system.

NYSDEC has listed various parts of the Hudson, water quality impaired due to PCBs, cadmium and other toxic compounds. Hudson River tributaries, with deteriorating water quality (not necessarily the same pollutants as principal of Hudson's mother) are Mohawk River, Dwaas Mata, Schuyler Creek, Saw Mill River, Esopus Creek, Hoosic River, Quaker Creek, and Batten Kill. Many lakes in the Hudson drainage basin are also listed.

The system of Hudson River estuary is part of the National Estuarine Research Reserve.
