‘Return of the Orca’ Hopes to Recreate the Boat From ‘Jaws’ to Support Shark Conservation
Posted on Sunday, July 26th, 2020 by Chris Evangelista
The Orca, the famous boat from Jaws, is about to rise from the depths once again – and for a good cause, to boot. Online Jaws groups Making the Monster and The Daily Jaws are teaming to raise funds to restore a Nova Scotia lobster boat currently called Lydia and turn it into a replica of the boat that Quint, Brody, and Hooper headed out on to stop the shark that was plaguing Amity Island. But this new Orca won’t be used to hunt sharks. Instead, it’s being created for “researching marine life and helping people better understand the varieties of shark species in the area around Martha’s Vineyard including great white sharks.”
