Hammerhead Shark ‘Visits’ White Horse Pub

April 23, 2018

[Written by Don Burgess]

A video of a hammerhead shark outside of the White Horse Pub & Restaurant has gone viral.

At around 3 pm on Friday, a hammerhead shark was seen along the bridge to Ordnance Island. A quick-thinking jetski instructor from KS Watersports filmed the shark swimming just below the surface of the water.

He shared that with Chris Morley, a manager at the White Horse, who posted two videos of the hammerhead on the pub’s Facebook page.

He said a shark was spotted “a couple of weeks ago that someone had filmed from Wahoo’s. People were saying it’s not the same one because it’s not a hammerhead. It wasn’t a clear video but it looks like a different shark.”

Mr Morely added, “There’s never been one spotted outside the White Horse. This is the first time. It swam along the bridge and showed right off for us.”

The video has been viewed more than 20,000 times with almost 400 shares.

A hammerhead shark was also spotted near Flatt’s a few days ago.

    Need to stop feeding the fish there!

  2. swing voter says:

    its about the same length as the one filmed in Flatts inlet a few weeks ago. This guy is getting too comfortable this close inshore, let alone inside the lagoon….Fisheries should take him down, and grind him into free shark hash for upcoming county games

      Garbage.
      These sharks seldom attack anything except fish and squid.

    • Kathy says:

      He should be trapped and brought outside the reef.

    Sooner or later some young kid jumping off the bridge is going to be eaten alive.

    Just further proof that it’s an old wife’s tale that the reefs stops the sharks from getting through !

      • Double S says:

        Ya, because that area was already well known as being a shark haven. You truly are dumb.

        More lies from the ignorant in bermuda.

        OJ, we know you’re stupid, but, just gotta say…they brought aggregate in from Canada for cross island…you moron.

        “we dredged”…meaning the plp destroyed bermuda in more ways than one.

    • Onion Juice says:

      Was waiting for de Trump supporters to surface.

      • Double S says:

        I never thought you lot when into hiding.

        How many times do you have to be shown how the PLP and Trump’s ideology is aligned.

        The only difference is skin color.

        • REAL TALK says:

          Actually the skin color is why the obaUBPers continued to keep we surrogates to the front lines of a majority 90% white / 10% black party.

          I should know I was a surrogate drinking the red kool-aid when the OBA was formed under false pretenses!!!
