Venice relies on gondolas and barges for transport and freight while black gondolas honor tradition to elude surveillance. A wealthy American editor frequents the city in a gold trimmed gondola causing a sensation among locals. Gondoliers steer with one oar, feathering blades, rarely lifting from water, and can stop quickly at speed. Fare rules vary by trip or time, with caps on per-person costs and hourly or daily rates. Also recounted is a humorous tale about a famous singer and a barber on a transatlantic voyage who jokes about singers hurting their throats at sea.
