NANTUCKET (WBZ) ― For the first time in 21 years, a great white shark has washed ashore in Massachusetts.
Lisa Capone, a spokesperson for the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), confirmed to WBZ Tuesday that a shark that turned up dead on a beach near Sheep Pond Road in Nantucket Monday was a great white.
The female shark was about 6-and-a-half feet long and a couple of years old, Capone said.
DMF will dissect it Wednesday to determine how the shark died.
Last week, a shark sighting was reported off South Beach on Martha's Vineyard, but could not be confirmed.
A second reported sighting turned out to be a hoax.

Aww, poor shark. These are magnificent creatures, amazing ability for speed, precision and complete destruction. That said, I don’t want to be anywhere in the water while they are around.

And the fate of Democrats that didn't support the Clintons during the primary begins to become clear.

There once was a shark in Nantucket,
Who'se latest prey filled up a bucket,
It said with a smile,
"if you wait here a while,
I'll devour you just like a muppet."
OK, so it isn't quite like I remember the poem...
