- The Submarine is the name given to a particularly large and aggressive great white shark that may (or may not) have dwelled in False Bay, near Cape Town, South Africa, during the 1970s and the 1980s. Many people have reported encounters with the shark over the past thirty years or so but the story began as a hoax by journalists and then quite unexpectedly grew to have a life of its own and became an urban legend. The tales told about the animal provide an example of an urban legend that can be traced to its origins. The affair is very similar to the Great Wall of China hoax.
