The McBarge is officially called the Friendship 500 and was the first ever floating McDonald's restaurant. It was built for the 1986 World's Fair in Vancouver to showcase future technology and architecture. After the Fair, it shut down; it has been anchored in the Burrard Inlet since 1991. Recently, discussions have been underway to finally relocate the barge to Mission, British Columbia and develop it as a restaurant again.
