A basking shark, about 30 feet long, was spotted weaving around boats at the Bedford Basin Yacht Club, much to the delight of spectators. The massive basking shark is the second-largest living shark, but while it may look threatening, the plankton-eating fish is known as a “gentle giant” and is not a threat to humans.
