Dont believe this last post ! Before they could get a permit to sink, as a dive site, it would have to be stripped of all toxic substances. The Canadian Coast Gaurd has a new program called Vessels of Concern. The last legal owner is notified to remove the vessel, and if that has not occurred in a short time, the CCG will remove it, dismantled and disposed of. They then can Leagally Sue for cost recovery. Could easily bankrupt a person.

No mention has been made of a rescheduled event, its Facebook and Twitter have not been updated since 2017 and its KZread account has been closed. Oof. Rest in peice you weird bargey thing.

I live in Knoxville, TN where our 82 Worlds Fairs iconic staple is The Sunsphere. The structure still stands is well preserved and open to the public with several observation floors, a restaraunt, and a bar. Im sure this barge is just as iconic to the city of Vancouver as The Sunsphere is to Knoxville, but its a story of one stationary icon to one that floats. To me, restoration to this thing is in serious need in order to bring it up to codes and even install the latest outlets for usb and hdmi hook ups for the use of modern day technology, so the question is, how much would all this cost, and is it worth it? This reminds me a lot of saving the Love Boat from the iconic 80s t.v. series. The Princess remained for sale for quite awhile with no buyer until she was sent out to Italy to be scrapped due to the high costs of upgrading and renovations. Sadly, it was a sight to see on youtube videos, but I feel this barge should be a permanent fixture to its home of Vancouver if its to reconize a historical mark on that cities history. Nevertheless, city ordinances and simple requests of not wanting the barge there remain hurdles.

Growing up in St. Louis, I can still remember eating at the McDonald's riverboat. The city is actively trying to "revitalize" the riverfront, but virtually all of the former boats docked in front of the arch are all but gone.

Hey I remember it too I’m from the Lou too

Abandoned boats always intrigue and sadden me. I lived on a boat for many years in the California Delta. There were several abandoned boats in the area as well as many that had sunk years earlier. I watched one of them go down as the owner and his son argued about whose fault it was. If they would have tried to save it early on they could have, but by the time they started trying it was too late. In the past it had been a beautiful wood boat, a 44' Cruiser built in the 1940s . But the owner had neglected it badly until it just wasn't water tight anymore.

Jake, this series gives me life. Keep up the hard work man.

Watching these videos makes we want to be a time traveler. I wish I could go back and see these places in their heyday. I'd also want to be there on the last day that Rolling Acres was open. It would be so cool to see it so eerily quiet.

What they should have did, was disassemble it and rebuild it on land and fill out the inside with memorabilia of when it was a barge, the world fair, the making of the ship, the concept designs. It would have functioned all the way until now as just a unique McD's location with some cool history to see.

I live in Vancouver. My dad was a BC Coast Pilot and before he died we snuck on to check out the Mcbarge after it got left up river. ... I still want a McBarge dang it. 😂😂 It would be so cool!!

This is so cool to find out the actual history of McBarge as I grew up in Mission, BC and it was often a topic of conversation. I even remember when they were talking about bringing it to Mission and we all thought that would be so awesome for businesses in general since it's such a small town. I remember my friends and I being really sad when it was turned down :(

I remember seeing that the very first time when I was a kid.. dad I wanna go to that floating McDonalds! no son, its closed down. what???

I live in St Louis Missouri and remember the riverboat McDonald's well. It was docked on the riverfront by the St Louis Arch. Basically every school who did a field trip downtown went to it.

Reinis - you feel fine now but anyone who eats beef regularly without very hard daily exercise is going to accumulate a layer of fat in their veins with each meal. Eventually you have a heart attack or need a very expensive bypass surgery in middle age. This does not apply if McDs customers are smart about what menu choices they make, the fish sandwich is sustainably caught and reasonably healthy, it needs a whole grain bun to be truly healthy. Arbys offers a whole grain bun on request on any sandwich so is much better for us than McDs if you are smart enough to understand the health disaster of white bread culture..

I remember eating at the one in Saint Louis when I was a kid, it was quite an awe inspiring experience!

These videos are so fascinating. I wish they would become a television show!
