No vessels were anchored here. None were here the evening before, when we arrived from Ossining.
If this existing authorized anchorage is underutilized, what is the need for 43 additional berths?
See Riverkeeper's information hub on the proposed new Hudson River anchorage grounds, and read our fact check on industry's claims.
