Jonathan Tedder operates as a professional shipwright and the creative force behind White Star Boatworks, focusing on the intersection of maritime heritage and cinematic history. He is currently documenting the extensive restoration of the 1945 lobster yacht Betselma, meticulously converting the vessel into a screen-accurate replica of the ORCA from the 1975 film JAWS. His work is characterized by high-fidelity production values and technical rigor, notably seen in the recently launched ORCA Rebuild Season 2. Beyond structural ship reconstruction, Tedder explores historical preservation through projects like his interview series with USS Indianapolis survivors and technical deep-dives into the Greener Harpoon Gun with experts like Rene BenDavid. By blending traditional woodworking techniques with deep-lore research, he provides a detailed look at aquatic engineering and prop accuracy. His methodical approach to craftsmanship serves as a primary resource for enthusiasts of both nautical science and classic film production design.
