Description
The Anastasi is docked in Tarpon Springs Florida! This small boat is not a shrimp boat, or fishing boat at all! It is a sponge boat. 40 or 50 years ago this small Greek community was a sponging mecca. Gulf sponges were highly sought after the world over!! But with the advent of the synthetic sponges it all but wipe out sponging for Tarpon Springs! But with great thinking and planning the community became a tourist mecca. And yes sponging is back in vogue for the tourist. So for this little boat call "Anastasi" business is good again!!! This lovely photo would look amazing in a nautical den or study!!!
