Since only one of the four of us has ever stepped foot on or in a submarine, the girls & I thought it was pretty cool to check out the USS Pampanito at Fisherman’s Wharf. The tight quarters, tiny bunks (many perched precariously above torpedos), and lack of sunshine or fresh air doesn’t seem like a lot of fun.
USS Pampanito
What a crew
Watch out for the Liberty ship behind you!
We also toured the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, one of only two surviving operational Liberty ships. This ship was built in South Portland, ME in just 56 days! We were able to see the engine room, which was used for filming the Titanic.
Summer particularly enjoyed seeing the laundry room.
We then ventured on to Pier 39 for the sea lion show. Be sure to check out the video on Rachel’s page. We decided to call this territorial sea lion by the name of Rufus.
