Gondola
The Gondola was a type ofsmall boat, that was used as a way of traversing Venice and Romagna's waterways. It was designed with a longer left-hand side, which allowed gondoliers to row it without changing the side the oar rested, after many patrons were struck across the face by drunk gondoliers.
In Assassin's Creed 2, Ezio can use the Gondola to get to distant locations across the water faster (although if swimming the difference is barely visible). Also, when Ezio has to save Caterina Sforza from a small island he uses the gondola to get to her and then transport her across.
