Angels Island is in San Francisco bay that offers a great view of the San Francisco skyline, the Marin county Headlands and, Mount Tamalpais. There is an immigration station on the northeast corner of the island is where officials have detained one million immigrants in the past it is now a historic landmark.
In the later 19th century the army declared the island as Fort McDowell. During the Spanish American war this island served has a discharge depot or returning troops. During WWII it served has a base for Japenese and German POWs.
In 2008 there was a giant fire that lasted from October 12 - October 14. Firefighters were ferried across to fight it off while helicopters dumped water and fire retardant on it.I think that Angel Island is really cool and I would love to visit some time. It must of sucked for a lot of animals on the island during the fire though.
