Weehawken Cove (North Hoboken Harbor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weehawken Cove (also known as North Hoboken Harbor, Hoboken Cove and Hoboken's Inner Harbor), is a small body of water in New Jersey, USA that extends westward from the Hudson River. The cove straddles the boundary between Hoboken to the south and Weehawken to the north. The first European explorer to sight the cove was Henry Hudson, who anchored his ship in the cove on October 2, 1609.[1] Most of the harbor is within Hoboken boundaries, but a small section is in Weehawken. A pair of apartment complexes have been built along the cove in the last decade. On the Hoboken side of the cove is the Hoboken Tea Building Walkway, which runs alongside the water and offers the best public Hoboken views of the cove. Manhattan is easily visible from the cove.
In 2005, David Roberts, the mayor of Hoboken, unveiled a plan to build a Hoboken Cove park.

"On October 2, 1609, Henry Hudson anchored his ship, the Half Moon, in what is now Weehawken Cove. Robert Juet, Hudson's first mate, wrote in the ship's log, "[W]e saw a good piece of ground ... that looked of the color of white green." The rock of which Juet wrote makes up Castle Point in Hoboken; nowhere else along the Hudson River exists a white-green rock formation."
