Historical records of the town of Chioggia recount a very gloomy afternoon on June 24, 1508 when a violent storm broke out, the sky was covered with dense, low clouds, thunder loud, blinding flashes, a deluge of rain, a terrifying roar of the sea in the storm. The panic had spread everywhere.
The townspeople prayed in homes and prayed desperately for the fishermen caught at sea by the storm. Only towards evening did the storm subside, and an old guard of the lighthouse, a Carlo Baldissera Zalon , came out of his lookout , dejectedby the damage produced by the terrible storm. Suddenly he heard a voice from the shore calling him , he turned and saw a majestic lady. She was dressed in a black robe and sat on a trunk of a tree pushed on the beach by the waves. The lady, who turned out to be the Mother of God, and she said that she was deeply saddened by the dissolute life led by the people of Chioggia, in particular for:
"Desecration of Sunday, for the sin of blasphemy, and the practice of blatant immorality."
The hurricane, with its ruins, was a warning of a worse cataclysm, if the city did not convert and do penance. Then she asked him:
"Tell the bishop of the this apparition and, in my name, call for a crusade of prayer, penance and exhortations to avert the serious evils that oppress the Christian life."
On the site was quickly built a small wooden chapel and, later, a church, consecrated in 1585. The Capuchin Franciscans are the custodians of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Ship starting from October 17 1957.
