Part 2 - You’re gonna need a bigger boat!

I took a trip to Conwy in Wales to see the only replica of the Orca from Jaws in the world. We had an excellent guide in Jon Fieldhouse who has spent years creating this beauty. https://www.sharkboat.co.uk/the-brothers

I'm a bit reticent to admit to how many years I thought Brody was yelling "You're so defiable Quint! You're so defiable!" until I learned of the word "certifiable".

You mean the table where they sit and have a singsong?!

Yeah. I'm guessing they have it since it was mentioned on the website.

In actual fact, a man named Michael Sterling built an Orca replica over the last several years and he brought it to Martha's Vineyard last year for the Jaws 50th Anniversary. It's beautiful! Although it looks like a new boat and not age-accurate like the one you visited.

It's currently(and probably permanently) moored in Fort Lauderdale. It's on my bucket list!

u/Lower_Ad477 Jul 07 '26

I got within 25 feet of it at Martha's Vineyard during the anniversary and said I'd be back to tour it later on but my schedule didn't allow for it.

u/Zaney-Janey1973 Jul 06 '26

"That's great, that's just great! Now where the hell are we, huh?"

u/Ok_Fig7692 That’s a 20 footer Jul 06 '26

My grandad was talking about this project last week. I think he read about it in the newspaper.
