Sailboats scoot by Alcatraz Island

Many tourists to San Francisco take the ferry from Pier 41 (Fisherman’s Wharf) to Alcatraz Island.  Besides offering great views back to San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, visitors can tour the infamous prison where criminals like Al Capone, the Birdman of Alcatraz and Machine Gun Kelly were incarcerated.

Now only ghosts and tourists wander the cellblocks.  Although from 1969 to 1971, Native Americans occupied the island in a failed attempt to reclaim it.
