Keeping meticulous shark attack records since 1670


Apparently a couple of great white sharks were noted off the coast by Chatham, closing the beaches. In their coverage of the shark sightings, CNN notes "Massachusetts has recorded only four shark attacks since 1670, two of which were fatal. The last fatal shark attack in Massachusetts happened in 1936."
PS. I had no idea that the MFA and the NGA had copies of this painting!
