@all.things.shark: The Infamous 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks 🦈 In the summer of 1916, five people were attacked along the New Jersey coast and in Matawan Creek in just 12 days, leaving four dead. The shark, or sharks, responsible were never conclusively identified. The attacks have historically been rumoured to have inspired Jaws. #sharkattack #sharks #jerseyshore #truestory #HistoryTime
