Fisherman’s Wharf and the Rock of Alcatraz in old San Francisco
A nostalgic, panoramic reminiscence of Fisherman’s Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The piece recalls Alcatraz in the bay, the long wharf, diverse fishing boats, and the lively quay life with guards and slave markets. It also recalls Willie's childhood view from the hill, sea captains, exotic animals, a rock known as Haystack Rock, and plans to blast it to ease navigation.
