Margaret Bowles and Maddie Cronin were paddleboarding and taking photos off of Stoney Beach on the Fourth of July when Bowles noticed an alarming dorsal fin. It's the first confirmed sighting of a great white shark off of Woods Hole in more than 20 years.

As Cronin, 18, snapped photos of Bowles, 19, around 7:30 p.m., a great white shark moved through the water nearby, its dorsal fin slicing through the surface.

This was the first confirmed sighting of a great white shark off Woods Hole in over two decades. The post White shark caught on camera frighteningly close to paddle boarders off Cape shore appeared first on Boston.
