Alcatraz, San Francisco, California
This is the view you get when you first get off the
boat. All the pictures in this gallery are in the order they were taken.
Alcatraz was first used as a military outpost from 1850-1933. Staring in
1859, it was also the site of a military prison, whose population swelled during
the Civil War.
