Blue and Gold Fleet
Alcatraz Cruises is the only way to get to Alcatraz from San Francisco. Today, tour boats leave for Alcatraz from Pier 33. Historically, the guards, their families, and visitors left about a mile west of here at Fort Mason. Prisoners arrived by train car and barge.
This picture shows a Blue and Gold Fleet boat heading for Alcatraz. This company provided Alcatraz ferries until 2006.
