OverviewOn April 22, 1721, the HMS Seahorse arrived in Boston from the West Indies, carrying goods, cargo, and, unbeknownst to its crew, a deadly virus. Soon, a smallpox epidemic had broken out in Boston, causing death and panic across the city. The clergy, including the famed Cotton Mather, relied on fasting and prayer to fight the disease.
