Coit Tower - Photo 4 of 11 Alcatraz Island was discovered in 1775. It was a federal prison from 1934 to 1963, and before that it was a military prison. The island is one and a half miles from the shore where Fisherman's Wharf is. It is now maintained by the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. |
