Excerpt AP-
Burgess, who also is curator of the International Shark Attack File, said the state has had 16 shark attacks in its history, five of them fatal.
Four of the fatalities occurred during a 12-day period in 1916 when a great white shark is believed to have killed two people along the shore and another two in Matawan Creek. The movie "Jaws" was based loosely on the 1916 deaths.
Thank you sir.
If this is the same story that I heard years ago...didn't the Great White swim 5 to 10 miles inland and attack some children swimming in the creek? I found it quite amazing.
