McBarge
Wreck · Canada
The McBarge, officially named the Seaborne II, was a former McDonald's restaurant, built on a 187-foot-long (57 m) barge for Expo 86 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Moored on Expo grounds in Vancouver's False Creek, it was the second floating McDonald's location in the world, intended to showcase future technology and architecture. Although the floating design allowed for the barge to operate in a new location following the exhibition, the derelict McBarge was anchored empty in Burrard Inlet from 1991, amid industrial barges and an oil refinery, until it was moved in December 2015 to Maple Ridge, British Columbia. Apart from brief use as a McDonald's restaurant in 1986, the McBarge has never actively been used for anything and was drifting from owner to owner for 34 years. By the end of March 2025, the McBarge had capsized and partially sank into the Fraser River in Maple Ridge.
