History of the Tarpon Springs Fire
Rescue Patch
City
leaders
wanted
to
show
more
of
the
heritage
of
the
City
in
the
emblem
used
as
the
City
Seal.
One
of
the
Tarpon
Springs
Police
Officers,
known
for
his
artistic
talents,
designed
the
emblem
that
depicts
Tarpon
Springs,
its
heritage,
and
the
historical
values in 1979.
The
emblem
shows
a
water
scene
to
depict
the
coastal
community
and
importance
of
the
mariner.
On
the
water
are
several
boats;
one
catching
a
Tarpon,
the
namesake
of
the
City.
Another
boats
symbolizes
the
sponge
harvesting
vessels
that
are
a
significant
part
of
the
history
of
the
City's
economy.
Lighthouse
Island,
also
known
as
Ancolte
Island,
is
portrayed
in
the
background
with
the
sun
setting
in
the
western
sky.
The
Lighthouse
lights
the
way
for
all
mariners
to
find
their
way
home
to
Tarpon
Springs.
This
artwork
was
adopted
as
the
official
Seal
of
the
City
of
Tarpon
Springs
and
the
Fire
Department
incorporated
it
into
the
seal
for
the
Fire
Service,
the
Maltese
cross
shown
at
left,
resulting
in
the
patch
used by today's Tarpon Springs Fire Rescue.
