Thank you very much—corrected! Clearly, I am not a car guy! So, I tried to find out where this great movie was shot 46 years ago. TNX, Crispin! For your nice details about the places where Spielberg filmed this masterpiece.

After exploring it and finding it so large, well wooded, and with such luxuriant grape vines, many beautiful lakes and springs of the purest water, he transferred the name and called it Martha's Vineyard, in honor of his mother, whose name was Martha.
This would serve to highlight the ironic nature of the shark attacks that occurred during the Amity Incident which were later depicted in the film Jaws. Just ask yourself, is it really safe to go back into the once shark-infested waters? Jaws Wiki Explore. Help New pictures New articles.
The USA was in a national recession and the local population really needed the money brought in by the film. The islanders at the time lived mostly off the land and the sea like they had for generations. The international scandal that had enveloped Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick had receded. The island population consisted mostly of the families who lived there year-round and had for generations and some hippies and retirees.
Lots of locals made it onto the film set in various capacities from extras to technical experts. Since the Hollywood crowd knew very little about boating, the locals had to help with the marine scenes. Likewise, the scene where a mad horde heads out to catch the shark was made up of some of the best seamen on the island. Filming was done in the spring and early summer so you can imagine the weather would not have been the idyllic summer beach weather portrayed.

It has taken decades of science and activism to help post- Jaws generations understand and respect the role sharks play in the oceans and the ecosystem overall. While a generation of beachgoers emerged from the blockbuster film forever creeped out about swimming in ocean deeps, the director himself had nightmares for months after shooting wrapped. His dreams, though, weren't of shark attacks, but of still being in charge of the shoot. He'd awaken thinking he was still on Martha's Vineyard, riddled with anxiety and panic.
