The True Story That Inspired Jaws | The 1916 New Jersey Shark Attacks
Most people know Jaws, but few know the terrifying true story that inspired it. In the summer of 1916, a series of brutal shark attacks along the New Jersey coast left four people dead, one seriously injured, and an entire nation in panic. From the beaches of the Jersey Shore to the waters of Matawan Creek, we’ll break down the attacks, the hunt for the killer shark, and the theories that still spark debate more than 100 years later.
🍺 Beer Pairing: Loose Cannon IPA from Heavy Seas Beer. We couldn’t think of a better beer for this episode. The shark behind the 1916 attacks was completely unpredictable—striking along the coast before somehow making its way into Matawan Creek. A true “Loose Cannon.”
Grab a cold one and join us as we dive into one of the most infamous shark attacks in American history.
