CHATHAM – A great white shark that was saved by beachgoers on a Chatham beach has been spotted several times since its rescue.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy says the shark, named Jameson, has been spotted in the waters off Chatham on five different days since the July 13 rescue.

Officials said the 7-foot male shark got stuck near South Beach as the tide went out.

Beachgoers kept the shark wet by splashing it with buckets of water until officials attached a line to its rear caudal fin and Harbormaster Stuart Smith pulled it back into open waters. Officials said it took about an hour.
