It is the only part of the world where the Dodecanese immigrant feels like he is on his island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known who first discovered the sponges in the Gulf of Mexico, which for centuries multiplied and covered large areas in its shallow bottoms. Around 1870 some fishermen started fishing for sponges. Two fishermen would go by boat to the sponge spot and there, one would row and the other would look for the bottom with the glass and wherever he found sponges he would \u201cgrab\u201d them with the grabber. In 1890 businessman John Cheney turned his interest to sponge fishing and purchased some of these primitive sponge boats, which he brought to Tarpon Springs. In the meantime, the Mediterranean sponges started to become scarce, and the price of the sponge kept \u201crising\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Greeks are coming<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early on, Cheney realized that for sponge business to progress, it needs experienced sponger divers. In 1905, John Korkoris suggested that he bring Greek sponger divers. Immediately Cheney\u2019s message arrived in Greece: \u201c\u2026 you and your relatives go to the same sponge grounds and fish and re-fish for sponges, where your ancestors went for centuries before you. The sponges in the Gulf of Mexico have not been touched by man. Millions await you, multiplying every year. Come, bring your diving suits and your ships\u2019 plans\u2026\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon9-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50719\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u03a7\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03cc\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ad\u03c1\u03c7\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u03ae \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u0398\u03b5\u03bf\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Tarpon Springs. Thousands of people come to the Feast of the Epiphany in Tarpon Springs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the flower attracts the bees, so Cheney\u2019s message attracted the Greeks. Until now the Greek sponge divers were uprooting the sponges from the bottom of the Mediterranean, now the Gulf sponges are uprooting the Greek sponge divers from their islands to start a new life in America. The first came from Aegina, but most from the sponge islands of the Dodecanese, Kalymnos, Symi and Chalki. They brought with them not only their diving suits and the sails of their ships, but also their families, their manners and customs, their costumes, their dances and their songs and most of all, their love for the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within two years the number of Greek sponge diving ships at Tarpon Springs rose to one hundred. (Already, in 1896, Captain Nikolis of Giannouka started from Chalki, with a 40-meter three-masted sailboat, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Tarpon Springs). The chronicler of the time, who visited Tarpon Springs at the time the sponge divers were preparing to embark on their months-long mission, writes: \u201c\u2026the docked sponge diving ships look like ancient triremes preparing for the siege of Troy.\u201d Within a few years the Tarpon Springs sponge market became the largest in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Theophany<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closely connected with Tarpon Springs is the feast of the Epiphany, which, more than sponge diving, spread its fame throughout the states of America and countries of the Western Hemisphere. The Consecration of the Waters coincided with the beginning of Tarpon Springs\u2019 first sponge season, which ran from Epiphany Day to All Saints day. The second period started from the fifteenth of August until Christmas. Sponge boats returned to the harbor for short periods, at Easter and Saint Nicholas day, who is also the patron saint of Tarpon Springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon10-Small.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon10-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50720\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u0398\u03b5\u03bf\u03c6\u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Tarpon Springs \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u0391\u03c1\u03c7\u03b9\u03b5\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf \u0394\u03b7\u03bc\u03ae\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf.

The holiday has a special religious significance for Greece and is celebrated with great pomp. Outside of Greece, however, nowhere has the brilliance of the events of Tarpon Springs, which began in 1905 as a small local celebration, but quickly its fame reached all over America, because of which \u2013 every year \u2013 approximately 50,000 people attend it from all parts of the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The \u201cRed Tide\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the life of the Greeks in other parts of America was spent with bitterness and nostalgia for Greece, the Greeks of Tarpon Springs lived and prospered in an insular Greek environment, which apart from the people and the nature around them, full of familiarity, with orange trees and pines, relieved the feeling of foreignness, while the sea \u201cwent\u201d back to their beloved homeland. (Ah! the Sea of the homeland! The sea that \u201craised\u201d them and made them travel-loving, daring, philandering Greeks, as Cavafis says).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarpon Springs\u2019 progress continued until 1947, when the harbor grew to accommodate up to 150 sponge diving ships. At that very time, certain natural phenomena dramatically changed the lives of the sponge divers, who suddenly saw their blue-green seas turn red and without a trace of life in them. It was a phenomenon that appeared from time to time, and they used to call it \u201cRed Tide\u201d. It is due to algae that, under favorable conditions, multiply, releasing huge amounts of toxins that destroy every kind of life in the sea, \u201cpainting\u201d it all red. Within a decade, the bay\u2019s sponge grounds, which extended to 30,000 square kilometers, were destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon11-Small.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon11-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50721\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u0397 \u039d\u03b5\u03bf\u03bb\u03b1\u03af\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u03ae \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u0398\u03b5\u03bf\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Tarpon Springs.

Many, especially young people, migrated to other American cities. But some of them could not overcome their nostalgia and returned, even after several years, to Tarpon Springs. In 1939, Tarpon Springs had 4,500 residents of which 2,500 were Greek. Today Tarpon Springs has 25,000 inhabitants, and of all the cities in America, with the largest percentage of Greeks, mainly of Kalymnian origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The red tide passed, the sponges began to multiply and cover the bottoms of the Gulf, but the Tarpon Springs sponge diving has never regained its former glory as the synthetic sponge competes fiercely with the natural one. In the meantime, the new generation turned their interest and attention to the sciences, business and other professions more efficient and freer from the dangers and hardships of the sponger\u2019s profession. His life was hard, ten months a year he was away from his family, spending the two of them, under the surface of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Spongorama<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from Clearwater, as you enter Tarpon Springs, the Church of St. Nicholas looms large, its bells constantly ringing out the hymn \u201cGlory to God in the Highest.\u201d You pass in front of the church and following Athens Street you reach the waterfront, called Dodecanese Avenue. There was the Sponge Market and at its entrance the statue of John Korkoris.

Along the route, every patch of land and sea had a story to tell about the life of the sponge divers and pioneer Dodecanese immigrants. The ship passes by countless green islets, some with an area of one to two square kilometers, while most are just a few square meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The waters are so shallow in these places that the tide collects the sand and creates these islets, whose lush vegetation makes them seem heavenly. But the tide that creates them also destroys them. After years the course of the currents changes and pulls the sand to form other islets further on. And as the sand leaves, the trees are slowly covered by the sea until they disappear. Of course, this whole process, from the birth to the death of an island, takes tens or even hundreds of years. There are so many of these islands that you can see all the phases of their life. One can well form with his imagination a complete picture of the life of each island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon13-Small.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anamniseis.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a116-Tarpon13-Small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50723\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u03a4\u03bf \u03ac\u03b3\u03b1\u03bb\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c3\u03c6\u03bf\u03c5\u03b3\u03b3\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf Tarpon Springs.
