Rumor has it that it is in the works to be a restaurant once again. To be known as “Sturgeon’s On The Fraser” it will be docked on the banks of the Fraser River in Mission. Slated to be open mid 2010 although I think that’s a bit optimistic.

I’ve just read this post now. I pass the McBarge daily on the WCE and I’ve always wondered the history behind it. Thanks for the article. I hope it finds a better home soon.

I personally would love to reno the McBarge and make it my new House Boat.
But I think a great use everyone could enjoy would be an Information Center along with historic photos of Expo ’86 and Vancouver. The city could dock it in False Creek by the Telus World of Science, or perhaps somewhere along the Sea Wall, maybe near Water Front Station.

At any rate, seeing it just sitting there rotting breaks my heart.

I feel very sad about McBarge everytime we pass it on our boat.

I have asked some writers for the Vanc. Sun to do an article on it to raise public awareness- but nothing has happened yet~

Boaters would love to have a place to pull in.

We just started a Facebook group so that all McBarge supporters can join together as one voice. I know that there are plenty of you out there and we are of a group that really wants to do something about it. Let’s all make it happen and share our ideas. Cheers to McBarge.
