#OTD in 1935 – Nineteen Donegal islanders are drowned when their yawl founders.

At 5.30pm on Saturday the 9 of November 1935, a yawl left Burtonport harbour, for Arranmore Island. In order to avoid being kept at sea too long in the dark, in the heavy swell, it was apparently decided to take a short course between rocks which the sea is studded for a large area between the Island and the mainland.

Irish island of Arranmore asks Americans to move there

(CNN) — With a population on the wane since the 19th century, the picturesque Irish island of Arranmore is down to its last 469 residents.

Determined to keep their community alive, islanders have taken an unusual step -- writing open letters to the people of the United States and Australia, asking them to consider moving to the island, three miles off the west coast of County Donegal in Ireland.

Arranmore, known as Arainn Mhor in Gaelic, boasts towering clifftops, unspoiled beaches, a close-knit community -- and high-speed internet, which community leaders hope will entice remote workers. Earlier this year, the island also opened a shared digital workspace.

"We're the most connected island in the world," Adrian Begley, of Arranmore Island Community Council, told CNN. "So we wanted to send a letter to the rest of the world to say we're here, we're open for business."

Vacances a Irlanda conduint poc

Hola de nou! Encara estem tancats, però l’ànim no decau. Voleu anar lluny, amb el cotxe, amb totes les maletes, sense restriccions, aquests estiu, estalviant-vos de llogar-ne un a l’arribar al destí, i coduint poc? És possible. Anem a Irlanda! La primera parada possible serà Narbonne. Cal menjar alguna cosa. Potser al Bella Napoli, una pizzeria cèntrica que no està gens malament. Bona pasta,…
