We borrowed a bit of history about the Sponge Business in Tarpon Springs to share.

-> "The west coast sponge beds were discovered accidentally in 1873 by Key West turtle fishermen whose nets were fouled by sponges off the mouth of the Anclote River. Spongers came to the area to work the beds, and some moved to Tarpon Springs. In 1890 John Cheyney, a Tarpon businessman, opened the Anclote River and Rock Island Sponge Company across the river from Tarpon. During the 1890s, sponge packing houses were built in the city, sponge presses were installed, and buyers moved to town. Gradually the sponge business shifted from Key West, Cuba, and the Bahamas to Tarpon, and by 1900 the city was considered the largest sponge port in the United States."

BOATHOUSES AT THE BAYOU, TARPON SPRINGS, FloridaPast
"By 1905 some 500 Greek divers had arrived to Tarpon Springs following A. & R.I. Sponge Company advertisements of guaranteed work in the ever developing sponge industry.
This influx significantly changed the local scene and created a vicious rivalry between the decades' old Key West Conchs and the newly arriving Greek Divers."
