We're not stupid..... Jaws was filmed on Amity Island, and as you know, Amity means friendship.
And, as you should know, "Amity Island" is fictitious. Trust me, it was filmed on Martha's Vineyard. I know. I was there. Or, perhaps, you forgot the

" emoji above?
The big ferry you see in the film bringing people to the island on the "festival weekend" (or whatever it was) was a real ferry, in service at the time. It was the "MV Islander." It was one of the fleet ships of the "
Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket Steamship Authority," and it ran the route between Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard for more than 50 years. It took 45 min., one way, to run the route. It was the first "Motor Vessel" in the fleet. The others were all Steamships. Now, all the ferries in the fleet are Motor Vessels (Diesels).
Sadly, it was decommissioned in 2007 and sold for scrap. It was a big blow to the residents. They loved that vessel. It was, however, replaced with a more modern vessel, the "Island Home." As my late uncle described it, it was the "Islander on Steroids."
It is equipped with dual EMD engines and is a "double ender" (like the MV Islander) but, unlike it, it has direct drive, electric, double screws at each end (along with side thrusters at each corner). I rode it, round trip, on my very last visit to the Island in 2007.
As many times as the film crew kicked my dad out of his favorite fishing hole because they were shooting there that day? Yeah, Jaws was filmed on Martha's Vineyard.
