If you were sailing the Tyrrhenian Sea, where would you be?
The Tyrrhenian Sea is located in the Mediterranean Sea, between the Island of Corsica which is French and Sardinia and Sicily which are Italian, and Italian west coast. It is named for the Tyrrhenian people, identified since the 6th century BCE with the Etruscans of Italy. The lower end of the Tyrrhenian Sea starts at the Strait of Messina which separates Sicily and the Italian mainland. Depths of the Sea average 6,562' and extend to a maximum of 12,418'.
Islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea include Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Elba, Ischia, Capri, and Ustica.

The Tyrrhenian Sea does touch the north side of the “boot”. It appears there are two correct answers here.

Why are we constantly getting questions where any of two answers can be correct?

filmnut, Napoleon was BORN in Corsica; he was exiled to Elba in 1814 but returned to lead the French armies against the Allies at Waterloo in 1815. Following the French defeat, he was exiled to St Helena in the Atlantic Ocean where he died. He didn’t spend his last years in exile looking at the Tyrrhenian Sea at all…

Frank Cowell, I’m so sorry, your absolutely correct. I have no excuse for that mistake. I knew he was exiled to Elba, but had forgotten that He was sent to St Helena.

The “Little Corporal” was Napoleon’s nickname. He spent the last years of his life on Corsica. So where is Corsica located. Doesn’t anyone take Geography and History any more. No wonder Donald J. Trump is POTUS. None of you remember a real President like:John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy family was 10x richer than Trump. And He and his brother Robert F. Kennedy were loved by this Country. All except the people like Trump.

The “Little Corporal” spent his last years in exile looking at it.
