Gripping take of the Vitorian shark attacks along the east coast. The author is saying that the culprit was a great white, but I've always heard that it was a bull shark. Nevertheless, it is still a very spine-tingling tale fot those of you who are fascinated by things like this. And it delves into the mannerisms and behaviors of the late 1800's society.
