Synge first arrives on Inishmore via a steamer from Galway.[2] Notably, regular steamer service between mainland Ireland and the Aran Islands only began in 1891 and only to Inishmore seeing as it is the largest of the three.[6] From there Synge travels to Inishmaan, the middle island, and continues his interactions with the local community. On Inishmaan Synge continues to develop his Gaelic and notes that he feels as if he is traveling farther from civilization (a concept that pleases him).[2] However, he also notes the connections between the community (and their stories) and mainland Ireland, Europe, and America.[2] Synge then travels to the smallest island, Inishneer, before returning to Inismaan. After this Synge records his irregular travels between the islands and other parts of Europe. ImportanceDue to the rocky topography and limited natural resources and shipping capabilities of the Aran Islands they remain largely isolated from mainland Ireland.[7] As such, communities on the Aran Islands developed in specific ways that are reflected in the culture and language of the Aran Islands. Some of these specific traditions have since disappeared or otherwise been changed by the modernization and tourist commodification of the islands but Synge's work has preserved some parts of this way of life.[8] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/book-of-a-lifetime-the-aran-islands-by-john-millington-synge-1958026.html|title=Book Of A Lifetime: The Aran Islands by John Millington Synge|work=The Independent|access-date=2018-12-03|language=en-GB}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Aran_Islands|title=The Aran Islands|last=Synge|first=John Millington}} 3. ^{{Cite book|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Aran_Islands|title=The Aran Islands|last=Synge|first=John Millington}} 4. ^{{Cite book|title=The Cambridge companion to J.M.
