Funeral gondolas, the passenger ferry Eraclea (1935) and the island of San Giorgio Maggiore at Venice, Italy.
The photographer is looking south-west-by-south across the San Marco Basin from the Riva San Biagio showing two gondolas sculling across the San Marco Basin laden with a coffin and flowers during a funeral. The passenger ferry Eraclea (1935), seen from just ahead of her port beam is under way in the Basin with the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in the background.
