In late September the Warden Johnston sold to a fellow from Sausalito that hauled, insured, and relocated the boat to Sausalito with a plan to move aboard and live near downtown. Due to unexpected life experiences he decided that that plan was not realistic and has asked me, Brad Sears, to handle the sale of the boat. In light of the improvements and the relocation the Warden Johnston is a better value now than when it was last sold. Please email me for the location and particulars and Ill be glad to answer any questions you might have.The Port of San Franciscos Head Warfinger Hedley Prince at Fishermans Wharf expressed interest in seeing the Warden Johnston displayed and preferably used for a maritime purpose at the end of the Embarcadero.This boat has a rich history and is named for the first and founding warden of Alcatatraz, James A. Johnston. Better known for his second career, James. A Johnston was handpicked and recruited out of retirement by the one and only J. Edgar Hoover. Johnstons previous career was the warden of San Quentin.All inmates from 1945 to 1961 were transported on and off the island via the Warden Johnston, including such prisoners as Machine Gun Kelly and Robert Stroud aka The Birdman.
