Weehawken, New Jersey, is a small community located just across the Hudson River from New York City. The cliffs of Weehawken, accessible by boat and by foot, and covered in trees, provide the perfect covert dueling grounds. It is to Weehawken that Burr and Hamilton are ferried by boat across the Hudson to engage in their duel. It is in Weehawken that Hamilton is mortally wounded by Burr, with Hamilton then being ferried back to New York while Burr follows.
