Venetian Gondola

       The gondola is a traditional flat bottomed Venetian rowing boat.It is similar to a canoe,

except it is narrower.It is propelled by a gondolier who uses a rowing oar.For centuries the 

    gondola was a major means of transportation and the most common watercraft within 

    Venice.While in previous centuries gondolas could be many different colours, a law of

    Venice required that gondolas should be painted black.Whenever someone says Venice,

    we would think of the gondolas.
