Tarpon Springs - The Sponge Divers

This was an unknown place to us but at the Super Bowl party our host mentioned that Tarpon Springs is where she gets Greek Pastry. Then we learned about the town and the sponge diving industry begun about 1900. Greeks who had done this work were asked to come and start sponge diving here. They did and still do. The statue is to the man who began it all. More to come!
