The medieval fishing weir and fish traps which were historically located at Rhos Point have mostly gone, but in the 19th century a dog called Jack became a local legend famed for catching fish at the weir until he was killed by a shark in 1873! Small World Theatre has brought the story to life in shark, dog, fish installation.
Small World Theatre chose an Angel Shark as the culprit. Angel sharks rest, camouflaged in the shallows and wait for their prey to come near then they strike. There are recent sightings of the critically endangered Angel Shark in Welsh waters, despite poor Jack unfortunate end they pose no threat to humans.
