Tarpon Springs Jan 25-1934 Spent most of the day at Tarpon Springs looking for the flat white stares. Pictures from the sea at depths of 125 feet and less. There are the sponge fisheries of the Greeks. Another colony (maybe) to the north of Tarpon Springs and another at Key Biscayne. These boats 40-60 feet long go out into the Gulf of Mexico and dive as deep as 125' in diving snails, and the boats stay out up to four months depending on the catch. They go south to 240 miles out of and down the Florida coast for 175 mile northward voyage.
