In 1986, Vancouver hosted the World’s Fair. An event like that is a big deal not only for the hosting city, but also for the brands that sponsor and appear in the fair.
McDonald’s was no exception: behold the McBarge.
The 57-metre, two-storey glass-and-metal barge was used as a floating McDonald’s restaurant during the world’s fair, held on the shores of Vancouver’s False Creek.
The intent was to leave McBarge as a fully functioning restaurant after the fair, but that was not to be.
See the video below for the full story – which is still untold.
