In 1996, two submersibles crashed during a documentary for National Geographic. They discovered a brass box that looked like a coffin but it was too long to be a coffin. The rectangular shaped box was approximately 9 feet long and 3 feet wide. They finally decided to bring it to the surface to find out what was in the coffin-like box. When the box was on board the ship, there was a curious crew member who wanted to see what was inside the box. The man thought it wouldn't hurt anyone, so he lifted the lid a little and out of the darkness of the box emerged a shark man with metal claws and teeth. The creature took the man to the bottom and fed on its prey. The shark man found his way to a place called Waterboro where he had been killing people and sea creatures. Then it found its way to land and killed even more people and animals. On one island there was an institute on marine life but mainly on white sharks. It was primarily through a man named Chase that he studied the shark man.
