The old Grand Banks cod dory fisherman wouldn't have enjoyed the presence of Great Whites.

Saw a great old movie the other day "Captains Courageous" starring Spencer Tracey. Spoiled brat kid falls overboard from a ship and is rescued by cod fishermen off the Grand Banks. He demands they take him to Gloucester but they say not until they have caught their catch which is several weeks. Kid tries his bratty action but they have none of it and put him to work to earn his keep. Kid begins to learn how to behave and becomes a man after facing the hazards of the sea and fishing boat. Great old movie (pre WW-II).
