Tarpon Springs is the sponge capitol of the world. In the early 1900’s, the expert fishermen from Greece heard about the abundant sponge beds in the Gulf and they started the sponge diving and selling industry. Today, the Greek influence dominates the area around the sponge docks. The first pic shows the a typical work boat at the sponge docks, with their collection of sponges from a day’s work. The next pic shows alligators at one of the eating establishments. We were getting into some serious alligator country.
