A replica of the Orca, the iconic shark-hunting boat from Jaws, is opening in north Wales, with the boatmaker saying tourists could travel from as far afield as America and Japan.

The vessel, which is the only full-scale replica in the world, took two years to build and will be filled with replica props from Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic film.

So did they have smaller ones before, and decide that they needed a bigger boat?
