Rampage:

 

The jersey Man-eater was believe to be the real "jaws" in 1916 when it killed about 9 people and injured 7 along the jersey shore. It is said that it might have been an attack from several sharks, but the shark in the image has human remains in its stomach. Just like in the movie,"jaws" this shark tried to shank the boat to get its prey, but it got killed by a broken oar by Michael Schlesser. The rampage by the shark or many sharks was crazy because not many sharks are found on the jersey shore. unfortunately due to the heat wave and polio plaguing the northeastern united states the people were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
