Will be Civil War Days. Yes, no battle fought in SF Bay, but Fortress Alcatraz and Fort Point protected the Golden Gate and its gold ships from the dreaded Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah. There will be Yankee re-enactors on the island who will explain the daily life of a soldier at Alcatraz. There's some Civil War guns on the island like at the sally port.
Go to http://www.FriendsofCivilWarAlcatraz.com for more information. Tickets must be purchased in advance from Hornbloweryatchs. It's the only ferry service to the island.
