alcatraz island
there are five large islands in san francisco bay. alameda, the largest island, was created when a shipping lane was cut to form the port of oakland in 1901. it is now a suburban community. angel island was known as "ellis island west" because it served as the entry point for immigrants from east asia. it is now a state park accessible by ferry. mountainous yerba buena island is pierced by a tunnel linking the east and west spans of the san francisco–oakland bay bridge. attached to the north is the artificial and flat treasure island, site of the 1939 golden gate international exposition. from the second world war until the 1990s, both islands served as military bases and are now being redeveloped. isolated in the center of the bay is alcatraz, the site of the famous federal penitentiary. the federal prison on alcatraz island no longer functions, but the complex is a popular tourist site. despite its name, mare island in the northern part of the bay is a peninsula rather than an island.
