Subject
Trapon Springs, Greek community, Sponge Docks with boat yard and sponge boats
Description
1932. The 1910 census reveals that six Greek ship carpenters resided in Tarpon Springs. The Greeks learned their skills as apprentices to master ship builders. In Tarpon Springs they probably worked full-time in the construction and repair of diving and hooking boats. During the first half of the 20th century, hundreds of boats based on the achtarmas style sponge boat (a sub-type of the trechantiri) common in the Dodecanese islands were built by Greeks from Tarpon Springs to Apalachicola. Among Tarpon Springs boat yards were those of the Kaminis, Sarris, Arfaras, and Macrenaris families.
