Dropped off this Virgo TB in a cache near the Matawan Creek Bridge in Keyport, NJ. This creek flows into the Raritan Bay, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Staten Island, NY is on the other side of the Raritan Bay and beyond that is lower Manhattan!
99 years ago, in 1916, a Great White Shark or a Bull Shark swam from the ocean, into the bay, then into Matawan Creek (including under this bridge), going several miles inland. The shark killed several people in this creek in Matawan in one day. This story was one of the main inspirations for the book, Jaws, which became a blockbuster movie in 1975.
