High Water (Not Hell) in Venice: Part 3

Sep 28, 2007

On the way home from Ca' Rezzonico, we saw this interesting scene:

The water was still high. How was this heavily-laden boat going to get past this bridge?

Answer: very, very carefully.

Knowing exactly how far your load sits above the water is a necessary skill for any Venetian boat operator. They might, you think, have removed a few items. But then the boat would be lighter and sit higher still...
