Description:

Mare Island, Alameda Naval Air Station, Treasure Island — San Francisco Bay is surrounded by former military bases that look largely abandoned and forgotten.

This is the second installment in a two part series on shuttered military bases. You can listen to part one about why they closed in the first place here.
