Scientists claimed a shark could not be responsible, but more deadly attacks soon followed along the Jersey Shore and up the freshwater Matawan Creek, setting off a nationwide panic that led the White House to declare a War on Sharks. In this illustrated book, which features 16 pages of black-and-white photographs, readers will learn about the likely culprit (or culprits) in the attacks-the great white shark and the bull shark-and how the bloody summer of 1916 would change how people viewed sharks forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51975922516256,"sku":"NEW0593521587","price":9.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/what-were-the-shark-attacks-of-1916-what-was-0593521587","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
