Russian flagged general cargo ship Shuya heading South through the Straits of Messina on 2 June 2012.
The Straits of Messina form the narrow passage between the Eastern tip of Sicily and the Western tip of Calabria in Southern Italy. It connects the Tyrrehenian Sea to the North with the Ionian sea to the South and at its narrowest point it measures 1.9 miles wide although near the town of Messina the width increases to approximately 3.2 miles, maximum depth is

Behind the ship can be seen the city of Messina and some of the ferries that regularly cross the straits to either Villa San Giovanni or Reggio Calabrie on the mainland.
I took the photograph from the Serenade of the Seas as we headed to Kusadasi.
