From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Red Sea       The sea so called extends along the west coast of Arabia for       about 1,400 miles, and separates Asia from Africa. It is       connected with the Indian Ocean, of which it is an arm, by the       Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. At a point (Ras Mohammed) about 200       miles from its nothern extremity it is divided into two arms,       that on the east called the AElanitic Gulf, now the Bahr       el-'Akabah, about 100 miles long by 15 broad, and that on the       west the Gulf of Suez, about 150 miles long by about 20 broad.       This branch is now connected with the Mediterranean by the Suez       Canal. Between these two arms lies the Sinaitic Peninsula.                The Hebrew name generally given to this sea is _Yam Suph_.       This word _suph_ means a woolly kind of sea-weed, which the sea       casts up in great abundance on its shores. In these passages,       Ex. 10:19; 13:18; 15:4, 22; 23:31; Num. 14:25, etc., the Hebrew       name is always translated "Red Sea," which was the name given to       it by the Greeks. The origin of this name (Red Sea) is       uncertain. Some think it is derived from the red colour of the       mountains on the western shore; others from the red coral found       in the sea, or the red appearance sometimes given to the water       by certain zoophytes floating in it. In the New Testament (Acts       7:36; Heb. 11:29) this name is given to the Gulf of Suez.                This sea was also called by the Hebrews Yam-mitstraim, i.e.,       "the Egyptian sea" (Isa. 11:15), and simply Ha-yam, "the sea"       (Ex. 14:2, 9, 16, 21, 28; Josh. 24:6, 7; Isa. 10:26, etc.).                The great historical event connected with the Red Sea is the       passage of the children of Israel, and the overthrow of the       Egyptians, to which there is frequent reference in Scripture       (Ex. 14, 15; Num. 33:8; Deut. 11:4; Josh. 2:10; Judg. 11:16; 2       Sam. 22:16; Neh. 9:9-11; Ps. 66:6; Isa. 10:26; Acts 7:36, etc.).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rhodes       a rose, an island to the south of the western extremity of Asia       Minor, between Coos and Patara, about 46 miles long and 18 miles       broad. Here the apostle probably landed on his way from Greece       to Syria (Acts 21:1), on returning from his third missionary       journey.
