It was a fictional boat featured in the 1975 film “Jaws.” The boat was owned and operated by the main character, a police chief named Martin Brody, who used it to hunt a great white shark that was terrorizing the beach community of Amity Island.
The boat was designed to be sturdy and seaworthy, with a large deck and a cabin for storing equipment and supplies. It was powered by two outboard motors and had a large harpoon gun mounted on the bow. Despite its size and power, the boat was no match for the massive shark, and it was eventually destroyed in a dramatic showdown between the two. The boat played a central role in the film and has become iconic in popular culture.
