This page attempts to collect together the names of some of the many donors
of equipment, manuals and historic documents to USS Pampanito. Our many
donors to projects at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park
are gratefully recognized elsewhere.
This page does not include the very many groups and individuals that
have helped us by providing in-kind services, donating money, or selling us equipment and documentation we needed (frequently
at below market prices). It also does not include the many people that
have gone out of their way to help us with advice and leads that are the
backbone of our effort. We really appreciate everyone's help in locating
and supplying the equipment and documentation that enables restoration
of USS Pampanito.
We apologize if we have missed your donation in this list, please send
me a note and it will be corrected.
