Description
Sponge fishing fleet
anchored at
the great sponge center
on west coast of Florida.
Several thousand Greeks
live in whose
business is diving for
sponges.
We saw great heaps of
sponges, of many sizes, and
quality- ready for the
sponge auction.
This we saw around Christmas
1921- but this photo was
taken there in Mch 1923
when we were going home in
the Lincoln by the Gulf
and inland roads.
