阿爾卡特拉斯島: 周边有什么、如何前往、何时最合适 · 2026年
Touring the island requires ferry passage across the bay, where freezing waters and swift currents shaped an infamous fortress.
关于此地
Cold tidal currents made the federal penitentiary on Alcatraz an inescapable prison compound.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, federal authorities fortified the rock with artillery batteries to safeguard coastal entries, while also erecting the earliest operational navigational beacon on the Pacific shoreline.

Escapes proved virtually impossible against freezing water temperatures and treacherous currents across the strait. Civilian authorities eventually shuttered the cellhouse, leaving the structures preserved for public transport access and historical tours.
