This Model Industries Building on Alcatraz was one of two buildings on the island where the prisoners could have jobs. Working was surprisingly, an escape for many of the prisoners. It helped to combat the monotony and isolation of prison life and gave inmates work experience for their life after release.

For the second time in a month, an article regarding the scrapping of the Sea Shadow has surfaced. Might it be the last attempt to find a non-profit to take the ship?
The Sea Shadow (IX-529) was an experimental stealth ship built for the U.S. Navy in 1984 by Lockheed Corporation, an American aerospace manufacturer. She was constructed in Redwood City, California inside the Hughes Mining Barge to conceal the project. The ship was used in secret to determine the effectivemes of stealth technology on naval vessels. In 1993 the project was publicly exposed.
