The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The photographer is looking west-by-north from the San Marco Basin showing the basilica on the left and a 3-masted schooner is moored close to it. At moorings on the right and seen from off her port quarter is the coastal passenger vessel Francesco Morosini (1928). Beyond the Morosini's foremast is the leaning bell tower of Santo Stefano.
