Approaching the island.
The sign says "On May 2 1946, six convicts attempted to escape. Led by Bernie Coy, who worked in this room as a librarian, the men overpowered several guards. They broke into the gun gallery, stole two guns and several keys and took control of the cellhouse. The prisoners were never able to get out of the building. It took three days for the Alcatraz guard staff, San Francisco Police, the Marines and the Cost Guard to regain control. Two guards and three inmates were killed.
