This would be the earliest shark fatality documented in North Carolina waters if proven true.At least six gun boats were stationed in the Wilmington area near Cape Fear to protect shipping and operations at coastal ports as well as conduct patrols. A party from the ship left to shore in a small boat for the purpose of bathing. When one of the swimmers sank during the dip and never surfaced fellow crewmen believed he was taken by a shark. Throughout the early part of the day a large shark had been spotted in the area. This portion of a map by Samuel Lewis dated 1802 shows the vicinity of the incident. ... See MoreSee Less
