     The 'venice' data frame has 51 rows and 11 columns. The final ten
     columns contain the 10 largest sea levels observed within the year
     given by the first column. The ten largest sea levels are given
     for every year in the period 1931 to 1981, excluding 1935 in which
     only the six largest measurements are available.
