    Accompanying note: "Fishing in Lake Jackson, rapidly losing water, as the fish are concentrated in small sections and have been easy 'pickins' for fishermen."

    speared, arrowed and shot?
  • Enric Martinez said:
    A impressive testimonial on how our relationship with nature changes: In the days this picture was taken sharks where evil incarnate, now we strive to protect them.
    I just hope it's not too late.

    Instant favorite, it's just so tragic but fascinating at the same time.

    white shark?
  • Liz said:
    I may have found your shark guys. There is an article in the Otago Witness date 25 December 1901. I realise the year is circa 1900 on the photo but this article is definitely a strong contender

    A LARGE SHARK CAPTURED
    A large shark has been prowling about the lower harbour for some time past, and up to Tuesday night evaded all efforts of the fishermen to take it. However at nightfall on Tuesday, Mr John Noble, a well known lower harbour fisherman was returning home , he was informed that the monster, some 18 ft long, was in the vicinity of Mr W. Innes's fishery. Mr Noble who has previously taken several sharks in the Port Chalmers waters, at once manned his boat and sent in persuit, succeeding, after a hard contest, in harpooning the creature off the George street wharf. The fish was then towed around to Tunnage's fishery to be hauled up. Here what might have been a very serious accident occurred, for a number of young and old of both sexes desirous of seeing the shark made their way round to Mr Tunnage's fishery and took up a position on the landing-stage designed for the reception of the fish. In all, the unexpected visitors must have been between 30 and 40. The landing stage (only intended to support the weight of the fish) proved unable to support the weight and it sank, taking its occupants into deeper water than they eared to encounter. One young lady, seeing the stage was sinking, very pluckily held on to a wire rope stretched above her head, and succeeded in sustaining herself and two friends. Some few bruises were sustained by some of the young people on the stage, but eventually everyone was landed.
