"Harbor Charlie" is the waterborne unit of the NYPD; this was one of their runabouts. The unit was founded in 1858 to fight piracy in the harbor that had grown rampant. In addition to law enforcement, today their mission includes a large search-and-rescue component.

Angel Shark

Squatina dumerili

Size: to 5 ft

Habitat: shallow coastal waters to extreme depths

Notes:
Angel Sharks are ambush predators, much like Goosefish. They are generally passive creatures but can bite viciously if provoked. They seem to be intermediate between sharks and rays, and are actually more closely related to Spiny Dogfish than anything else, despite appearances.
