The old Shark Incidents route encoded 1957, but the retained historical evidence points to a fatal incident near Honiara during the Christmas holiday period that was reported in early 1959. The evidence does not support preserving 1957 as an exact event year.
This corrected historical page uses late 1958 as the best-supported period.
