This article is a couple years old, from February 2021. I couldn't help but laugh at the photo of the gondola slips a little below sidewalk level, with a very obviously deep channel in the near background.

Are we expected to believe old-timey Venetians never explored the possibility of damming up...well basically anything...prior to laying new infrastructure?

The Dakmarios?

Shhhhh! That's going to be the luxury car brand! Front wheel-drive Camaro looking thing with El Camino style load bed. And steer horn hood ornament. Maybe even steer penis, still working that out, trapped in shootout between engineering and marketing. FWIW, I voted no on penis.
