I had previously posted thin my Jaws Buoy thread, but thought it might warrant it's own category...
Here's one of my favorite Jaws-related pics. Wish I could claim this "prop" was mine... but nobody gets to have it anymore - as it was destroyed I think in the early 90's. It had been on display at the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tour for years, until someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided it was in too poor shape to restore - and chainsaw'd her up for the scrap heap. Even Steven Spielberg was infuriated by this stupid decision. I think I remain one of the very few who ever had been photographed onboard the vessel while on the backlot. (Taken by my father when I was still in my teens -1987) This was a few years before her demise. I don't think even any remnants of it were salvaged. - An unforgivable waste.
