Back then boat fuel was 32 cents a gallon.Maybe it was too expensive in the 50's, but not in 2025. Our boats are better, the engines have WAY less maintanence, and they last MUCH longer. Our US infrastructure is significantly better now too. Shipping supplies to Alcatraz is much cheaper and easier now.
Now it's 10 times as much.
Do the math.
