Very well written book about places close to my home 100 years ago. The book describes in detail what West Philadelphia was like in 1916, then the family goes "down the shore" - as we always called it. Bathing in the ocean was just coming into vogue, when a juvenile great white shark lost his way in the Gulf Stream, and started to prey on humans along the beach until he was caught by accident by some fishermen.

A tagged book! Enjoy.

I received this great wishlist book from the Tag Game, thanks so much for "tagging" me! I am looking forward to reading it and then passing it on.

This is the true story of the shark attack's that happened along the New Jersey coast in the summer of 1916. It was believed at the time that sharks never attacked humans and that they could not cause the physical damage and death, but boy were they wrong! Several people were attacked and killed even in a nearby creek until the shark was caught by fisherman. This was a very interesting story and it kept my interest till the end.
Peter Benchley used these events as his role model for his movie Jaws.
