Alcatraz Lighus

Alcatraz Lighus er et lighus på Alcatraz Island, der ligger to kilometer ud for kysten ved San Francisco. Det er placeret på øens nordvestlige side, halvvejs mellem vandtårnet og spisesalen, nedenfor fængselsgården. Arkitektur Lighuset blev bygget i 1910 af det amerikanske militær på et sted, hvor der var en indgang til en tunnel, som blev brugt af soldaterne i 1870'erne til at krydse til den modsatte side af øen. Det er beskrevet som et udtryk for et af de enkleste udtryk for den arkitektoniske missionsstil på Alcatraz. Lighusets dør er mintgrøn og aflåst. Undersøgelsesbordet er nu dækket af mos og i dårlig stand. Galleri Brug Det er kun dokumenteret, at lighuset er blevet brugt én gang; nemlig da en afdød fange blev opbevaret i det natten over, da liget ikke kom med den sidste båd til fastlandet om dagen. Undersøgelsesbordet blev aldrig brugt til at udføre en obduktion. I den amerikanske hærs tid på øen blev afdøde officerer overført til Angel Island, hvor der var en militær kirkegård på Angel Island, men efter dens lukning i begyndelsen det 20. århundrede, blev de bragt til den nationale kirkegård i San Francisco. Mens Alcatraz-øen blev brugt som statsfængsel fra 1934 til 1963, blev afdøde indsatte ført til ligsyn på fastlandet. Noter Eksterne links Video
Alcatraz Morgue

Alcatraz Morgue is the morgue on Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, California, United States. It is located on the northwestern side of the island towards the centre, halfway between the Alcatraz Water Tower and the Dining Hall, below the side of the Recreation Yard. Architecture The morgue was built in 1910 by the U.S. military on a site which was formerly the entrance to a tunnel which was used by soldiers from the 1870s to cross to the opposite side of the island. It is described as "one of the simplest expressions of the mission revival style on Alcatraz." The morgue was built with three vaults and an examination table, with a steel door and a grated skylight. The double-door is a mint green color and is padlocked. The examination table is now covered with moss and in poor condition. Use The morgue was only documented to have been used once when a deceased prisoner was stored in it overnight, having missed the last boat run to the mainland of the day. The examination table was never used to conduct an autopsy. During its use by the U.S. Army, deceased officers were originally taken to Angel Island and military cemetery on Angel Island, but after its closure in the early 1900s, officers would then be taken to the San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio of San Francisco. During Alcatraz's use as a Federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963, deceased inmates were taken to the San Francisco County Coroner on the mainland. References External links Video
Alcatraz Vandtårn

Alcatraz Vandtårn er et vandtårn på Alcatraz Island, der ligger to kilometer ud for San Franciscos kyst. Det er placeret på den nordvestlige side af øen, nær vagttårn nr. 3, bag lighuset og fængselsgården. Vandtanken hviler på seks afstivede stålben, der er nedsænket i et betonfundament. Historie Da Alcatraz ikke havde nogen vandforsyning selv, måtte vandet til en start importeres fra fastlandet via slæbebåd og pram. I løbet af den første tid militæret var til stede på øen, var der vandtanke i jorden og på taget af fortet. Vandtårnet blev bygget i 1940-1941 af fængselsstyrelsen idet der var blevet givet et føderalt tilskud til at etablere en ferskvandsforsyning på øen. Tårnet er den højeste bygning på øen (28,7 meter) med et rumfang på 946,3 kubikmeter. Vandet blev brugt til drikkevand, vand til brandslukning, og vand til øens vaskeri. Under Besættelsen af Alcatraz blev vandtårnet overmalet med graffiti af indianere, og det er siden blevet et kulturelt vartegn. Graffiti-bemalingen omfattede bl.a. ordene "free Indian land -- Indians welcome". Tårnet har stået tomt siden 1963 og er begyndt at forfalde, særligt pga. den salte luft og vind i bugten. Fra november 2011 til april 2012 gennemgik tårnet en restaurering til 1,1 millioner dollars for at forhindre "uoprettelig skade og tab af vigtige historiske bygninger". Stålkomponenter blev udskiftet, og tårnet blev sikret mod jordskælv. Malingen blev slebet af og tårnet malet med skibsmaling. Referencer
Alcatraz water tower

Alcatraz water tower is on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, off the coast of San Francisco, California, United States. It is located on the northwestern side of the island, near Tower No. 3, beyond the Morgue and Recreation Yard. The water tank stands on six cross-braced steel legs submerged in concrete foundations. History As Alcatraz had no water supply of its own, it had to import it from the mainland, brought by tug and barge. During the island's military years, it was stored in ground tanks and cisterns situated on the roof of the citadel. The water tower was built in 1940–41 by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It is the tallest building on the island, at a height of 94 feet (29 meters) with a volume of 250,000 U.S. gallons (950,000 liters; 210,000 imperial gallons) of fresh water. It was used to store potable water for drinking, water for firefighting, and water for the island's service laundry facility. During the Occupation of Alcatraz, the water tower was subject to heavy graffiti by Native Americans and has since become a cultural landmark. Graffiti included "Peace and Freedom Welcome to the home of the Free Indian Land" and "free Indian land -- Indians welcome." The tower has been empty since 1963 and has deteriorated, rusted by the salt air and wind. From November 2011 through April 2012, the tower was given a US$1.1 million restoration to prevent "irreparable damage and loss of important historic resources". Steel components were replaced and the tower was seismically upgraded. The lead paint was sanded and the tower repainted with marine paint. The famous graffiti was repainted. The tower was completely stabilized, and the slope below the Warden's House received structural remediation as it had deteriorated. References
Malibu Pier

The Malibu Pier is a pier located in Malibu, California. It was constructed in 1905. History Rhoda May Knight Rindge and Frederick Hastings Rindge conceived of the pier when they caught word that Southern Pacific intended to connect their Santa Barbara terminus with Santa Monica, which would entail running tracks right through the Rindge's 13,315-acre Malibu property. The couple planned to take advantage of an obscure Interstate Commerce Commission law that stated if one railway ran through a property, there could be no other railway doing the same. Hence the Rindges decided to build their own private track—a utilitarian one to service their cattle ranch. Frederick died before the plan could be carried out, but Rhoda May took over, building the Malibu Pier and 15 miles of standard gauge track, known as the Hueneme, Malibu and Port Los Angeles Railway, that ran down the length of the pier, where a steam-powered crane lifted cattle hides and walnuts onto boats for shipment and grains onto land for cattle-feed. The operation kept Southern Pacific Railroad out of Malibu, diverting its course inland. In 1934, the pier was opened to the public for pier and charter fishing. During World War II, the end of the pier served as a U.S. Coast Guard daylight lookout station until a storm destroyed the pier's southernmost part; the remains of the pier were subsequently sold to William Huber's Malibu Pier Company for $50,000 with the proviso that he would construct a building for the Coast Guard to re-occupy. At war's end, Huber expanded the pier and built the twin buildings at the end of it for a bait and tackle shop plus a restaurant. In 1966, the building near the Pacific Coast Highway-side of the pier became the Malibu Sports Club Restaurant, then the Malibu Pier Club after a change in ownership. It was then Alice's from 1972 to the temporary closure of the pier in the 1990s. The pier was eventually restored and reopened in 2008. Though it was partially damaged by Baja's Hurricane Marie, the pier survived and was repaired by 2017. In January 2025, the winds behind the Palisades Fire damaged the pier, serving as the impetus to close the pier's ocean-end restaurant and souvenir shop temporarily. Film and television The pier was used in the filming of the 1933 King Kong. Gallery References

This was the first Jewish cemetery in the Gold Rush region. History The cemetery was founded by the Hebrew Benevolent Society and is mostly the graves of European-born Jews who emigrated to the Gold Country. The first burial is recorded in 1853 as Hartwig Caro, age 17; however it's possible there were burials starting in 1851. Local Jewish community leader Mayer Baer (1821–1907), and then his son Julius Baer (1876–1972) maintained the cemetery up until 1972. As of 2022, there are only 44 visible grave sites.
