Visit to Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay (includes tramlapse tour)

A visit to the largest island in San Francisco Bay: Angel Island. On an unusually warm December day. With the exception of a small portion that is a U.S. Coast Guard Station, the entire island is a California State Park. We arrive and leave by ferry, and take a tramlapse tour around the island, stopping at about 13 different points of interest, including some very good views and a bit of history, too (my first ever tramlapse video). We'll even briefly teleport over to the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are several editing mistakes that snuck through in a few places, oh well... Maybe we'll have a contest to see who can find them all.

Angel Island's painful legacy

Perched in San Francisco Bay, Angel Island was opened in 1910. For the next 30 years, it was the point of entry for most of the 175,000 Chinese who immigrated to the United States.
One man detained at Angel Island, Show Nam Lee, who is now 91, shared with China Daily his memories of that time.

Angel Island Wild and Beautiful

Often overshadowed by its smaller neighbor, Alcatraz, Angel Island is no less historically interesting but also wonderfully wild and beautiful. It's SF locals' best kept secret for picnicking, swimming, hiking, biking, and glorious backcountry camping. But there's also the ugly -- Angel Island served as the immigration detention center of the west and is the site of some horrific US history.

Preserving Angel Island’s Role in U.S. Immigration History

(San Francisco) - Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco) joined Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) at the new exhibit on Chinese American exclusion to announce they have secured $2.952 million in state funds to help preserve a structure on Angel Island once used to exclude Chinese and other immigrants. “We must not forget the history of immigration at Angel Island,” said Assemblymember Chiu. “As the son of Chinese immigrants, I know how important it is to remember the policies of exclusion at this Ellis Island of the West. I look forward to visiting the new center with my son.” Here’s more in this Assembly Access video.

Discovering Angel Island: The Story Behind the Poems

From 1910 to 1940, tens of thousands of immigrants entered the United States through the West Coast's Angel Island Immigration Station. Located in San Francisco's north bay, not far from Alcatraz Island, the buildings were nearly forgotten and their history practically lost, until one day Alexander Weiss, a California State Park Ranger, re-discovered them in 1970. His chance discovery began the long journey to save the Immigration Station, and ultimately, to save the stories hidden within it, and to help us remember its sad, but important role in American history.
