amidships, for their protection against the sun or rain. A
sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be
painted black, and they are customarily so painted now.
2. A flat-bottomed boat for freight. [U. S.]
3. A long platform car, either having no sides or with very
low sides, used on railroads. [U. S.]
