Ah but the most dangerous thing in the great Lakes are the Zebra Muscles, viscious little blighters just sit there and clog water intakes.

Was it not the Bull shark responsible for the New Jersey shark attacks in 1916?

The book "Close to Shore" suggests that they were all from the same Great White.

It would seem to me more likely that there were (at least) two different sharks involved and the attacks up river were a bull shark while the ones on the coast could have been either species.

I would think that quite a coinsidence that two rogue sharks of different species attacking in such a short space of time.

Anyhow play safe - wear a neoprene kilt when you hang twelve.

Nobody was hacking the fins off of sharks back then so more of them were around. People were becoming more water sports oriented then as well, which gave sharks more opportunities.
