	Tarshish
		Tarshish son of Javan [Ionia, Greece] gave rise to the settlement of Tarsis in Cilicia (Southeast Turkey).
		Firstly, it appears that 'Tarshish' refers to a geographical location and a type of ship (cp, Isaiah 2:16, the primary interpretation of the latter case); A nineteenth century example is the "East Indiaman......large sailing vessel built for the trade between Europe and southern Asia" (Encyclopedia Britannica, CD '99, East Indiaman).
		Tarshish possessed "gold, and silver, ivory, apes and peacocks." Tarshish was in a perfect geographical position to obtain gold and silver from the nearby Sierra Morena mountains in southern Spain, if that is indeed where it was located.

	tarshish - Easton's Bible Dictionary
		Some think there was a Tarshish in the East, on the Indian coast, seeing that "ships of Tarshish" sailed from Eziongeber, on the Red Sea (1 Kings 9:26; 22:48) (2 Chronicles 9:21) Some, again, argue that Carthage was the place so named.

		"Ships of Tarshish" is an expression sometimes denoting simply ships intended for a long voyage (Isaiah 23:1,14) ships of a large size (sea-going ships), whatever might be the port to which they sailed.
