Alcatraz has been many things over its millennia of existence. A chunk of rock jutting from open waters. A heavily armed fortress protecting San Francisco Bay. The first lighthouse on the West Coast. A military prison. A maximum-security penitentiary. The site of a Native American occupation. A Hollywood film set. A national park space. The lore surrounding the island and its occupants has always been fascinating, but the real story of “the Rock” is even better. At 6 p.m. on July 24, join Chronicle Culture Critic Peter Hartlaub and historian, writer, and retired national park ranger John Martini for a night of rare photos, myths, and history about Alcatraz. Martini is the author of “Fortress Alcatraz: Guardian of the Golden Gate,” and he and Hartlaub will discuss Hollywood’s fascination with the notorious prison island, its years as a military installation and federal penitentiary, what it’s like to work at the national park site and President Trump’s recent suggestion that Alcatraz could one day house prisoners again. They’ll also show rarely seen photos of Alcatraz over the years from the Chronicle archive, including images from the 1962 escape that helped speed its closure and recently rediscovered images from the Chronicle’s Vince Maggiora, who was the first photographer embedded with the 1969 occupation.
