Great white shark spotted at Stellwagen Bank

BOSTON — The crew of the Gloucester-based tuna boat has made the first confirmed great white shark sighting of the summer in Massachusetts waters.

The crew of the Sweet Dream III spotted the shark Saturday while fishing on Stellwagen Bank about 25 miles off the coast.

The crew got video and photos of the shark and an expert confirmed that it was a great white. They also tagged it.

Greg Skomal of the Division of Marine Fisheries said it was the first great white sighting off the Massachusetts coast of the year.
