When they say the white shark was in Wellfleet Harbor that is on the Boston/Plymouth side of Cape Cod.

White shark sightings in Mass. during the fall and winter are rare because there are less whites here, and less people out in boats, or flying, or swimming to observe them.

Occasionally a white shark is spotted here in Mass. during mid winter (Jan.- Feb.) but rarely photographed.

A few years ago I went down to Plymouth MA and interviewed Eddie Fairweather, a local fisherman who caught a white shark in his gillnet in mid winter .

I will try to post that photo in this link or at least give you the URL. The photo in 1938, was taken by a newspaper, these days cell phone camera photos are very prevalent. -Tom

If Richard Dreyfuss cut that shark open, I wonder how many Biden ballots he would find?

That was a scuba diver the shark was eating.

Great white spotted......

whites are great?

[Capt. Tom]

Notice the cold weather clothing worn by the people on the pier. Remember whites aren't just warm water sharks. They have a temperature range that is wider than most other sharks. --------------------------------

I’d guess if there’s food/seals you’ll find a few predators. Makes sense to me.

Nice shot, you interviewed him in 1938 ?

Too soon?

“Seals gotta swim...sharks gotta eat.”

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Capt. Tom!

Now, why the heck did you post that.

The shark was clearly said to be munching on a seal, not a whale.

Nice shot, you interviewed him in 1938 ?

I was 3 years old in 1938. Eddie was bout 20 years old then.
Edie has of course since passed way.

I interviewed him about 20 years ago. -Tom

Answer: How many more does Hiden need to win?

It’s the ocean, sharks live in the ocean. Did you expect them at the gym?
