Anne Bonny’s tracker pinged again at 7:15 p.m. Monday. The shark hasn’t pinged since then.

Researchers have been tracking Anne Bonny since April when the shark was spotted off Ocracoke, North Carolina, Ocearch said.

This has been Anne Bonny’s first observed journey to the waters off the New England coast.
