Part of Italy is a peninsula, and it's a pretty famous one, because it looks like a boot. A peninsula juts into the water but has at least a narrow a connection to land. If the boot broke off from Italy just below the knee, it would be an island. The word peninsula, which entered English in the 16th century, comes from the Latin words paene, almost, and insula, island..
Northwesternâs main campus is located twelve miles north of Chicago in Evanston, Illinois, though it does have medical and law schools headquartered in Chicago. Northwesternâs colleges vary in that some teach undergraduate or graduate students only, while others have a combination of the two.
Northwestern was built in 1977 at Marco Shipyards in Seattle, WA. She was originally 108 feet in length overall. The vessel was built specifically for the King and Tanner crab fisheries of Alaskaâs Bering Sea. In 1981 there was a collapse of the King crab fishery so the boat stayed busy fishing Tanner crab.
