FAMOUS EVENTS
Queen Anne Boleyn imprisoned in the Tower of London (1536).
Stonewall Jackson finally wounded by his own soldiers (1863).
First science fiction released (1902).
Although accounts of an aquatic beast living in Scotland's Loch Ness date back 1,500 years, the modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster is born when a sighting makes local news on May 2, 1933. The newspaper Inverness Courier related an account of a local couple who claimed to have seen "an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface." The story of the "monster" (a moniker chosen by the Courier editor) became a media phenomenon, with London newspapers sending correspondents to Scotland and a circus offering a œ20,000 reward for capture of the beast (1933).
King Charles II of England grants a permanent charter to the Hudson's Bay Company, made up of the group of French explorers who opened the lucrative North American fur trade to London merchants. The charter conferred on them not only a trading monopoly but also effective control over the vast region surrounding North America's Hudson Bay (1670).
During the Peninsular War, a popular uprising against the French occupation of Spain begins in Madrid, culminating in a fierce battle fought out in the Puerta del Sol, Madrid's central square. The Spanish rebels were defeated, and during the night the French army under Grand Duke Joachim Murat shot hundreds of citizens along the Prado promenade in reprisal. The gruesome events of the day were depicted by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya in two well-known prints (1808).
After nearly five decades as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), J. Edgar Hoover dies, leaving the powerful government agency without the administrator who had been largely responsible for its existence and shape (1972).
Comedian Jack Benny's long-running radio show debuts. The show aired for more than 20 years and evolved into a popular TV show (1932).
Steven Spielberg begins filming Jaws. The production, which used three mechanical sharks to great effect, enthralled audiences and grossed $458 million in its theatrical release (1972).
