Thank you, Jon! I learned a lot from that article and now I know more than I did yesterday!! It's a counterweight also for the gondolier who stands in the back or stern. This was a fun workshop, hey?

It's a counterweight for the gondolier, it's called a 'ferro' (iron) or soemthing

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondola
