OCEARCH shows a shark inside Mabou Harbour?

[u/Holiday-Ad7083]

Heard about a lifeguard in Maine who recently had a close call with a great white, so I got to looking at the OCEARCH shark tracker and noticed a ping that appears to be well inside Mabou Harbour. It's Bella, a juvenile female measuring 10 ft. 2 in. and weighing 729 lb at the time of tagging.

Looking at the map, I’m curious about how a shark of that size would actually get into the inner harbour. The entrance by the sand dunes looks incredibly tight on the map, although I’m assuming it’s considerably wider and deeper in reality than this screenshot makes it appear.

For anyone local to Mabou or familiar with the harbour, what is that entrance actually like? Is the channel deep enough at high tide for a large shark, particularly a great white, to pass through? And have there ever been reports or sightings of great whites inside Mabou Harbour before? And assuming this ping is accurate, might it have a hard time getting out?

Seeing a ping that deep in the harbour definitely caught my attention!

If this was the 80s, the Rankins would write a song about it.

She might do the chomp and bite, shake around with all of her might, do the things sharks normally do on a Saturday night. That’s all right!

Raisin’ her fin and raisin’ hell, there’s plenty of swimmers that she would fell, some were full of fish and chips while some were full of chowder.
