Location: Meet in front of the University Police Building$35.00 General/ $28.00 Housing students/ $17.50 CAASE Students
Come experience the beauty, history and infamy of Alcatraz on the San Francisco Bay. You'll be astounded by what you learn and see. The home of some of America's most notorious criminals, the federal penitentiary that operated here from 1934 to 1963 brought a dark mystique to the Rock. From Al "Scarface" Capone, and the "Birdman" Robert Stroud helped to establish the island's notoriety. To this day, Alcatraz is best known as one of the world's most legendary prisons. Our ship sales at 12:30pm, but we need to get there, parked and to the docks by 12pm. This trip usually returns around 6pm. Contact mo.phillips@sonoma.edu for more information.
