The Blizzard of 1888 began just after midnight on March 12 and ended approximately twenty-four hours later. The snowfall was worsened by powerful northern gales of up to 60 miles an hour that piled snow in massive drifts. By early morning on the 12th all of the roads and highways had been closed. Hopes of clearing the streets quickly were ruined by a temperture drop that froze most of the snow solid. The total accumulation of snow was over 21 inches.

Robert Fulton originally studied to be a painter in Philadelphia and then England. While in England, he developed an interest in the mechanics of ships and canals. He designed naval ships for the French and British before meeting Robert Livingston, American ambassador to France. Livingston contracted him to build a ship to steam between New York and Albany. In 1806, he built the Clermont. In 1807, it began service on the Hudson river as the first successful passenger steamboat in the world.

According to the 1916 "Year Book of The Holland Society of New York" (p. 776), the original pewter plate was installed in the North Dutch Church, which was erected in the 1760s, by Deacon Garrett Abeel, one of the church's commissioners. The nine-inch square plate was removed in June, 1875, when the building was dismantled.

The letters painted on this plaque spell the Hebrew word for "Israel."
