VENICE, ITALY - MAY 24: A large cruise ship sails in Saint Mark's Basin just minutes before the start of the 41st Venice Vogalonga on May 24, 2015 in Venice, Italy. Years ago a group of Venetians, both amateur and professional rowers, came up with an idea of a non-competitive race in which any kind of rowing boat take part. The first Vogalonga began with the message to protest against the growing use of powerboats in Venice and the swell damage they do to the historic city. (Photo by Awakening/Getty Images)
