Description

Actor Lloyd Bridges poses with townspeople at the Sponge Docks during the filming of 16 Fathoms Deep (1948) in Tarpon Springs. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, both this film and Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953) created a romantic aura around the sponge industry and publicized Tarpon Springs. Since parts of the films were shot in Tarpon Springs, locals sometimes worked as extras, and they often visited the Sponge Docks area to watch the filming.
