The great white shark caught off Cojímar in 1945 which is allegedly 6.4 m (21 ft) long and weighed an estimated 3,175 kg (7,000 lb).[1]

Cojímar is a small fishing village east of Havana, forming a ward (consejo popular) part of the Habana del Este municipality.

Overview

It was an inspiration for Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.[2] It was also the location where during the 1940s an enormous Great white shark was caught, which is one of the contenders for the largest specimen of all time.[3] However, there is considerable controversy about the accuracy of Great white shark measurements taken before modern times.

The Estadio Panamericano is located southwest of the village.
