  • Alcatraz Prison Full Tour and Experience | Alcatraz Island Today 2023. In this video we are going to tour all of Alcatraz Island and see everything the island has to offer. We will take the ferry boat over to Alcatraz Island, explore Alcatraz, the cell house tower, remains of the buildings, officers club, powerhouse and more. Join us!
    This video is my FULL LENGTH VERSION. I will be posting 3 versions total. Another will be the short form version, and the last one will be a silent walking tour. United States Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island, also known simply as Alcatraz or The Rock was a maximum security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, 1.25 miles (2.01 km) off the coast of San Francisco, California, United States, the site of a fort since the 1850s; the main prison building was built in 1910-1912 as a United States Army military prison.

    I was the first maintenance worker who was assigned to alcatraz Island for the national park service. 1994-2018 and been volunteering on the island since retirement. When i got there it was a mess,40% of the windows you see i put in myself, 80% of hand rails,50%of the lighting in the cell house! on and on, you did a great job my friend!

    That must've been something. I always regret that we didn't tour Alcatraz, when we were in San Francisco. Excellent coverage, and tour, Nick... It must be a weird feeling to be in that supposedly escapeproof? prison. I've read theories on both sides about whether the escape was successful. I remember reading that a letter was sent to authorities, by one of the brothers?, within the past decade, telling of the fate of the escapees. The jury is out on its legitimacy. 50/50 Apparently, the brothers were exceptionally strong swimmers, and were used to swimming in cold water. We may never know for sure. I believe I read that the brothers never murdered, or hurt anyone. They did commit crimes, and were hard to contain though... Thanks again, Nick, very well presented...👏🌊🌊

    What did they do with the prisoners once Alcatraz was closed.
    Where did they go??

    • @TravelswithNick
      @TravelswithNick  5 місяців тому +1

      I believe the prisoners were relocated to other prisons in California and other areas once closed. Thx for watching!

    why the sink in the cell has 2 taps and one is higher? I thought that prisoners had only cold water, so way there are 2 taps?
