Historic Shark Photos Wanted

Shark Photos

I’m working on some future content and looking for historic photos of great white sharks, makos and porbeagles that were caught in the Gulf of Mexico. This would also include taxidermy and shark jaws.

Looking back at a history of these sharks in the Gulf is important and I am trying to catalog as much of this as possible. It really helps in awareness raising and can help teach valuable lessons in how we manage sharks now versus 50 years ago.

I’m also lookiing for any stories of anglers seeing or catching great white, makos, porbeagles, large tiger sharks, extra large bulls and lemon sharks.

Email to chester@chestermoore.com.

I would also like photos of taxidermy, jaws or teeth from the above species that you might have in family archives or an old collection.
