Gondola

A gondola is a specialized boat with a long, narrow shape, traditionally used in Italy's Venice for transportation through canals. Its design allows it to navigate shallow, narrow waterways efficiently. Modern gondolas are often manually operated with oars, providing a scenic and leisurely travel experience. In other contexts, "gondola" can also refer to a cable car suspended from cables, used to transport people over mountainous terrain or across bodies of water. Whether as a watercraft or a cable system, gondolas are designed to offer smooth, efficient transit in specific environments.
