Glad you enjoyed it thanks so much for the great comment!
That must've been something. I always regret that we didn't tour Alcatraz, when we were in San Francisco. Excellent coverage, and tour, Nick... It must be a weird feeling to be in that supposedly escapeproof? prison. I've read theories on both sides about whether the escape was successful. I remember reading that a letter was sent to authorities, by one of the brothers?, within the past decade, telling of the fate of the escapees. The jury is out on its legitimacy. 50/50 Apparently, the brothers were exceptionally strong swimmers, and were used to swimming in cold water. We may never know for sure. I believe I read that the brothers never murdered, or hurt anyone. They did commit crimes, and were hard to contain though... Thanks again, Nick, very well presented...👏🌊🌊

Watching in Ireland. Cool video. Lived in San for a year in 05/06 when it was beautiful, absolute kip now. Alcatraz was the highlight though.

That’s interesting I don’t remember any flies. We went in the cooler mo this though so that’s probably why. Thanks for watching!
What did they do with the prisoners once Alcatraz was closed. Where did they go??

Have to ask did they talk about the 3 escapees? In regards to it recently potentially coming to light where they went after they escaped?

I think we were there for half a day. Got on the boat around 8:30-9am. Left around 2pm I think. You can stay as long or as short as you want 😎✌️
why the sink in the cell has 2 taps and one is higher? I thought that prisoners had only cold water, so way there are 2 taps?
