(WTNH) -- A research crew has spent the weekend tagging great white sharks off the coast of Cape Cod.

A crew from the history channel tagged two great whites: one last week and one Monday.

They took blood samples and attached a transmitter to better understand the shark's migration patterns.

"History was made right here off Cape Cod. For the first time, a North Atlantic white shark was spot-tagged. Now we're gonna be able to solve the puzzle of her life. She will show us her two-year migration."

A website has been set up so you can track the shark's movement.
