Abstract
Description
In 1916, the E&S unknowingly became part of a massive phenomenon that inspired one of the most famous movie franchises to this day. As Charles Bruder, a bellhop at the E&S, made his way down the steps and crossed the street to swim in the shallows, he never could has suspected he would never return. The 25-year-old was about to become part of a string of historic shark attacks occurring up and down the New Jersey and Long Island coastlines. Having both his legs removed and his torso shredded, he was dead before the lifeguards could row him back for medical attention. This, and the other attacks from that summer in the tri-state area later inspired the thriller Jaws and is regularly mentioned during Shark Week.
