A gigantic 12-foot-long, 1,000-pound great white shark was tracked off of Long Island’s East End in late June — and the largest great white ever discovered in the Atlantic Ocean could be trailing behind. The behemoth shark, a female named “Ernst,” first pinged on June 20 off of Montauk’s coast as she made her way toward Cape Cod before heading further north — where experts believe an even bigger, 14-foot, 1,700-pound great white named “Contender” is now heading, according to OCEARCH’s shark tracker. Both sharks seem to be taking similar routes from Florida and traveling up north along the East Coast, likely to pass by Long Island this summer if the fish follow the same pattern, data from the shark tracker reviewed by The Post show.
