Cruise ship in Venice near-miss weeks after dock incident

A cruise ship narrowly missed a yacht while being towed out of Venice late Sunday, just a month after a collision there renewed the controversy over the giant vessels. The 12-deck Costa Deliziosa, which is nearly 300 metres (1,000 feet) long and carries more than 3,800 passengers and crew, was being towed out in stormy conditions when the near-miss happened. A video posted by a Venetian writer and artist, Roberto Ferrucci, on his website http://bit.ly/2LeK4Kb showed the massive cruise ship passing very close to a moored yacht.
