A stranded great white shark pulled off a Chatham beach on July 13.
PROVINCETOWN – Jameson, the seven-foot great white shark that became beached in Chatham’s South Inlet on July 13, is alive and well.
Officials with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said there has been a detection this week of the shark from an electronic receiver just off Provincetown.
Jameson was rescued in a team effort by beachgoers, who noticed the entrapped creature and kept it alive with pails of water.
A tracking tag was later applied to Jameson before he was released. The shark has since shown up on the Conservancy’s tracking systems multiple times.
Conservancy President Cynthia Wigren said she and state shark expert Dr. Greg Skomal weren’t sure if the shark would survive.
