The entire length of the Hudson
river is 300 miles. From Troy to the
mouth Of the river in New York bay,
a distance Of $50 miles. the river is
tidal, owing to the low grade Of Its
bed. by which the ocean tide is able
to back up. 1t Is this lower tidal
navlgable portion of the Hudson that
is of so much importance, and, Of
course, the water is salt. 1t is regarded
as really an estuary OF the sen. Above
Albany and Troy the river is a small
stream, and to Its source the water
Is fresh.
