GeographyThe six principal islands of the Blaskets are:
HistoryThe islands were inhabited until 1953 by a completely Irish-speaking population, and today are part of the Gaeltacht. At its peak the islands had 175 residents. The population declined to 22 by 1953. The government evacuated the remaining residents to the mainland on 17 November 1953 because of increasingly extreme weather that left the island cut off from emergency services.[1] The evacuation was seen as necessary by both the islanders and the government.[2] A few members of the diaspora of the Blasket Islands have reportedly taken residence in Springfield, Massachusetts. [3]{{Failed verification|date=June 2016}}. Other former residents still live on the Dingle Peninsula, within sight of their former home. The islanders were the subject of much anthropological and linguistic study around the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries particularly from writers and linguists such as Robin Flower, George Derwent Thomson and Kenneth H. Jackson. Thanks to their encouragement and that of others, a number of books were written by islanders that record much of the islands' traditions and way of life. These include An tOileánach (The Islandman) by Tomás Ó Criomhthain, Peig by Peig Sayers and Fiche Blian ag Fás (Twenty Years A-Growing) by Muiris Ó Súilleabháin. The Blasket Islands have erroneously been called Next Parish America,[1] based on the idea that the next parish west of the islands would be the United States. In fact, the next Roman Catholic parish west of the Blasket Islands is St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. {{clear}}TransportThere is a ferry service that calls only to the Great Blasket and sails from Dunquin.[4] This ferry service is mainly for day-trippers. People can also camp on the island overnight. Passengers are transferred to a RIB (rigid-inflatable boat) once the ferry gets close to the island, as there are no adequate landing facilities for a larger vessel.
