The Pampanito is worth a visit. The Jeremiah O’Brien is right next to it also.

I visited the Pampanito once with my son's scout troop. They stood watch overnight and explored the boat. I rigged a hammock in the forward torpedo room and helped the watchstanders stay awake with a bout of prodigious snoring...

The torpedo room looks pretty big - it might be the size of my living room - but it's crammed full of gear. I left the next day with a lump in my throat.

I visited SF three years ago this month and the Pampanito was the highlight of the visit. Very well preserved and it was a joy talking to the two shipmates that were onboard to answer questions.
