Description
The National Hellenic Museum presents an oral history compilation chronicling the history of the sponge divers and Greeks of Tarpon Springs, FL.

The
other
was
running
of
when
we
consider
of
last
spotter.
Did
he
hook
it
with
a
potato
break
and
bring
it
up,
but
their
depth
of
invitation
was
18
feet
in
depth.
Bar
John
Chaney,
which
was
a
sponge
buyer
of
the
Florida
Keys
funded
the
Bahamian
and
the
Honduras
wanted
to
enlarge.
Us
really
had
a
fella
named
cook,
Horace
working
for
him,
and
they
found
that
they
wanted
to
go
to
Greece,
bring
in
divers
and
check
out.
The
possibilities
have
been
large
in
the
industry.
A
A
The
importance
of
this
budget
I,
like
I,
said
it
was
about
eighty
to
ninety
percent
Greek
population.
For
myself
and
my
generation
being
the
talapus
children,
a
Greek
inventor
speaking,
we
had
to
go
to
school
to
learn
how
to
speak.
English,
because
everything
your
neighbor,
your
friends,
was
Greek
and
Badgley
restated
a
Greek
language.
A
B
C
B
B
To
build
boats,
he
came
in
and
I
think
they
went
to
forget,
fern
Anita
beach
with
his
brother,
and
they
were
going
to
build
boats
there
and
that
didn't
work
out.
So
they
came
to
talk
to
the
springs
and
they
can't
had
the
boatyard
right
down
there
for
purposes
restaurant
is,
you
know
that
and
he
put
with
saris
brothers
and
they
built
book,
table
sponge
roads
and
they
started
building
SpongeBob's
back
in
1937
and
then,
after
that
they
went
to
shrimp
boats
and
so
they've
been
building
shrimp
boats
ever
since.
B
So
then
it
got
so
big
that
the
two
brothers
split
they
were
born
back
and
forth
from
st.
Augustine
so
much
they
were.
They
built
a
boat
yard
over
there
and
seeing
all
this
thing
that
we're
building
shrimp
boats
and
then,
after
that,
they
decided
to
split.
So
my
uncle
took
the
st.
Augustine
Bogart.
My
dad
stayed
here
with
this
one
with
his
sons
and
here's
a
story.
The
sons
built
boats
here
and
shows
you
how
they're
doing
it.
It's
Michael
this
brother
up
on
top
and
the
one
down
below
there's.
E
A
reason
for
choosing
terms
of
spraying
exactly
my
mother
happened
to
have
a
family
member
here
that
we
happen
to
visit
and
my
parents,
you
know,
fell
in
love
with
the
area.
You
know
traditionally,
when
you
thought
of
Florida,
you
thought
of
Fort
Lauderdale
Miami
in
those
areas
we
didn't
even
realize
there
was
a
Greek
community
here.
So
naturally,
when
we
were
here,
the
first
thing
they
did
was
take
us
down
to
interpret
Springs,
to
show
us
the
area
being
that
my
father
was
from
Greece.
So
here
we
are
and.
F
Young
Mikey
and
she
was
the
same
week
school
teacher
that
my
mother
had
see
me
have
the
same
Greek
school
teacher
and
she
wanted
me
to
learn.
Another
read
and
write,
be
able
to
writer
degrees,
learn
the
culture
that
way
plus
I
had
a
head
start
because
I
could
speak
Greek
in
the
home.
I
grew
up
learning
both
languages.
F
F
D
Supposed
to
see
the
measure
to
see
in
manager
percent
where
people
are
done,
Oh
Catherine
sake
of
George
Bush.
You
laugh
italica.
The
bush
never
did
I
see
the
big
issue.
Now
this
venue,
nice
okati,
will
it
cut
it
or
decoy
after
Nick,
modular
commodity
quasars,
the
border
support
autonomous

manager
to
Monsieur,
but
I'm,
letting
the
community
Holofernes
for
what
America
does
not
works
here.
What
a
sneaky
process
then
typical
to
have
the
bonuses
of
our
developer
sugar
vara
forty
prepping
at
the
Richmond
s
for
care.
