The idea for Jaws on the Water exhibit at the Carnegie Heritage Center was born from two anniversaries occurring at the same time: the 50th anniversary of the release of Jaws and the 50th year of the Vineyard Preservation Trust.
The Carnegie Heritage Center is one of the Vineyard Preservation Trust’s properties and in addition to the new exhibit opening Friday, it will be hosting a sold-out event on Saturday featuring recently retired Edgartown Harbor master Charlie Blair, who was a martime consultant on the movie.
The exhibit will be on display until June 27.
