I thought Treasure Island was home to a Naval Station?

I wonder why they call it Red Rock Island?

Won’t the Indians just stake a claim to it, like they did Alcatraz?

I dunno... Looks like it would tip over pretty easily.

I thought it was as book about pirates!
Pirates are always trying to hide their treasure with false leads. Pirates are sneaky that way. Then again this is a British newspaper. (tabloid)

Covers three counties? Doesn’t look that big in the picture.

Asking price $5M.
Heckuva deal - if I had that kind of money I’d buy it pronto. Magnificent site.

Maybe they can rename it Mt. McKinley.

It was - I processed out there. Maybe they’ve had multiple names for all the islands until more recent times.
In any case - whomever buys it won’t be allowed to develop it. Such progress isn’t allowed - at least not without the appropriate cuts being paid.

I believe that is correct — and the article is wrong.

I lived in SF and never heard Treasure Island referred to as, “Red Rock”.
Probably did at one time?
Not now.

Right. The photo above is off the 580 Bridge from Richmond to San Rafael. That’s not “Treasure island.” Its a small lonely piece of rock about 500 yards west of the Richmond refinery docks. Truth be told, it would be a great place to stage out of for the zombie apocalypse.

Treasure Island is a different entity entirely than Red Rock Island, the latter being a little steep sided sliver of rock visible from the Richmond-San Rafael bridge near San Quentin. A curiosity due to it bordering three counties.
