i'm not sure if anyone noticed this since it didn't make the news, but a month after McBarge sank, its former owner Howard Meakin passed away.
if you're unfamiliar with McBarge, it was a fascinating relic of canadian history: a floating mcdonald's from Expo '86 (vancouver).

the mcbarge sank in march of this year, and no one was able to get ahold of the last known owner. it's likely because he was in the hospital.
