The shores of Long Island and Staten Island and the waters surrounding Manhattan have had more than thirty shark attacks recorded since the days of New Amsterdam. Legend has it that Antony Van Corlear, Peter Stuyvesant's trusted deputy, was killed by a shark crossing Spuyten Duyvil Creek while blowing his famed trumpet. In the summer of 1916, after a series of bloody encounters along the Jersey Shore, sharks terrorized beachgoers of Sheepshead Bay, frightening the entire region. Two incidents on Fire Island in 2018 within mere hours and miles of each other involved a twelve-year-old and a thirteen-year-old, striking fear in the hearts of parents. Authors Patricia and Robert Heyer chart the history of New York's shark attacks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Heyer, Robert Heyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 154024895X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540248954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Patricia Heyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988669759743,"sku":"9781540248954","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72103901-2350-4def-9fd3-c757f446431b.jpg?v=1683295723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shark-attacks-of-new-york-patricia-heyer-9781540248954","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
