American Journeys. Mortification by me, 1991 (age 25) PART 1

[Morrigoon]

Amazingly I have also not done Alcatraz. I suppose I should make it a priority one of these trips.

I've lived here a decade now and never been to Alcatraz. Doesn't really interest me though a couple of times we've tried to spontaneously go and the ferries are sold out.

I'm not really much interested in its history as a prison. But I have more interest in the Native American protests in the '70s. Do they have any tours focused on that?

The blue line harbour tour we did had a 20 minute spiel about the protests as we stopped to view the Island. Very interesting. (and of course, the souvenir history book we picked up at the Alcatraz shop had plenty about it as well). That explains the graffiti !
