Although Venice is composed of islands and canals, the Grand Canal is the only really large one. It's shaped like a backwards letter S, and is approximately two miles long. At its widest point, at the Salute/San Marco (southern) end, it is roughly 350 feet wide; the normal width is about half that. I found this site to give me alot of information about the grand canal and how the people lived at the time. I would recomend this site to you if you are doing the grand canal.
