McDonald's forgotten McBarge

23 years ago, McDonald's built a store location on a huge ship in Canada. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd. for $12 million — over $26 million today — and constructed for the 1986 World Fair Expo in Vancouver, the boat was called the Friendship 500.

Though it was not the first McDonald's to be built on a boat, it was a huge hit with its classy interior and workers wearing nautical uniforms. It was nicknamed the McBarge.

But only two years later, locals were ready to see it moved from the False Creek waterfront in Vancouver and float to a different location. McDonald's finally allowed the new owners to move it to Vancouver's less-populated Burrard Inlet in 1991. Since then, the boat has sat neglected and allowed to slowly rust over the decades. The site remains a popular spot with ruin hunters, and though it is disused it has not been forgotten.
