Occurred on July 29, 2020 / Tasmania, Australia
Info from Licensor: "We were incidentally sightseeing for seals on what was supposed to be a fishing trip when a great white shark rammed and mauled our boat. It latched onto the bow where our anchor is and thrashed around before releasing and whipping its tail behind the boat out of the water. We headed for land and notified authorities. This has been identified by shark researchers as a great white shark up to 3-4.5m long. We were lucky to get away unscathed but we need new undies. We believe we were in the sharks hunting ground so we were maybe looking like another predator to the shark. A message to other boaters is to avoid shark hunting areas such as seal colonies. We hope the shark is OK and not injured."
