In 1804 New York City was still a compact port at the southern tip of Manhattan, home to roughly 60,000 people by the 1800 count and the largest commercial center in the young United States. Merchants, shipowners and dockworkers depended on the East River and the Hudson, and the wharves handled a steady flow of coastal and overseas cargo, while the planned street grid had not yet reached much of the island north of the built-up districts. That summer the city was still mourning Alexander Hamilton, the former Treasury secretary who died in July after his duel with Aaron Burr at Weehawken, New Jersey. Yellow fever had struck the port in earlier years, so residents watched the summer season closely, and many wealthy families left town during the hottest months.
