since 1845 there have been 29 reported shark attacks in british waters, with 5 fatalaties

In 1956, off The Lizard in Cornwall, a Leslie Nye and Richard Kirby were attempting to blow up a shark with explosives and blew themselves up instead.

On the 1st of September, 1937, there was a triple fatality in the Kilbrannan Sound off Carradale on the Kintyre peninsula when a basking shark capsized a boat containing three people - named as Captain Angus Brown and his son and brother.

so, of you are planning a day blowing up large sharks with your mates or, just pottering around off the coast of bonny scotland just be careful.
