gondola

Cable car cabin

A gondola is a long, narrow boat with a high prow, propelled by a single oar and associated with the canals of Venice.

The meaning extends to enclosed cabins suspended from cables—a ski gondola carries passengers up a mountain, and a gondola on a hot air balloon or airship holds the crew.

In American retail, a gondola is a freestanding shelving unit in the middle of a store aisle.
