Great white shark pings close to popular New Hampshire beach

RYE, N.H. — A great white shark pinged in the water close to a popular beach in New Hampshire early Monday morning.

Anne Bonny, a juvenile great white that is more than 9 feet in length and about 425 pounds, was detected swimming near Jenness Beach in Rye shortly before 3 a.m., according to Ocearch.

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.
