Sunday afternoon at McBarge: the saddest McDonald's on earth

So we dropped by the McBarge this afternoon in North Burnaby. It was weird.

It just so happens that last week some local nutcase in Mission, BC announced he is planning to resurrect it as new restaurant and thinks it will be a draw for some ridiculous reason.

More after the jump:

Worst Captain ever

So here is a wild one for ya, how about the story of the Ever Prosperity and the crazy Captain who crashed the same ship twice in the same goddamn place! How is this possible you ask? Excellent question!

The Ever Prosperity were/are twin sister vessels of the same name, registered to the home port of Monrovia, Liberia.

Commissioned by a Korean shipping company in 1965, the 'first' Ever Prosperity was heading along the Great Barrier Reef south of New Caledonia when the captain ran the tanker aground on the shallow reef. It stands there still to this day.

Commissioned by the same Korean shipping company in 1970, the 'second' Ever Prosperity was heading along the Great Barrier Reef south of New Caledonia when the same captain ran the tanker aground AGAIN on the shallow reef. It stands there still to this day.
