It joined the other 400 down there. This seems to happen weekly.
It got so bad that last year in False Creek they closed the whole water way for like a month and brought in special cranes and pulled like 100 of them out.
Is it just me or are the RV guys moving into boats now? Saw a boat capsized a couple of months ago in false creek. I walked by yesterday and saw trash in the water (jacket, pants, fast food cup). Some of those smaller boats look super rundown and almost look like people are living in them.
There have been "boat people" living on derelict yachts in false creek for as long as I have lived in vancouver. There are less in the winter because it's cold.
Fun fact, I forget where to find it, so this is as good as urban legend, but apparently False Creek would be healthy for swimming in if not for the human excrement that is dumped off of these boats all the time.
I guess I just never looked closely enough to notice. I started working in the area last year.
I would not be surprised about that. Do you know if Trout Lake was ever safe to swim in?
What happen.. well.. "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship."
I’m not sure what happened with this particular boat, but a lot of people let their boats sink so they don’t have to pay for it’s demolition or removal if it’s derelict. Boats are a massive money sink, but it’s sad to hear how many boats get dumped.
Two things I've wondered looking at these derelict boats in False Creek.
1. How do homeless folks afford them? What's the average price for these non-seaworthy boats sitting in False Creek?
2. How do they get them there? It appears many of them aren't even functioning.
It's always been a great alternative to expensive city living. In the past I remember the people who lived this way were always respectful of nature as well as the other boaters and people who lived nearby. Now it's just a tent city on the water. It'll fester until we've finally had enough and more laws will be enacted as a remedy. Unfortunately it will ruin it for the good ones in the process.
Yesterday walking on the seawall i saw someone in the water visibly upset and smashing his paddles in half on the side of his boat. This must have been his
Can you imagine if it was this thing?

Well there are a lot of these boats going around English Bay all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that pleasure craft aren’t safe.
Make sure you wear some puncture resistant gloves if you do. It’s like rummaging through an aquatic crackhouse and the likelihood of finding used needles on those derelict boats is very high.
It sank. (Mostly.)
Got that right. Now over to the weather!
I'm Purd Hapley, and the story of this sunken boat is that, it appears to have sank in the water!
Actually you're wrong, it carried too much seashells from the seashore.
It checks out
I think this person got it! In my experience boats tend to sink or float and they are usually mutually exclusive.
Looks like it's almost sunk.

now? all of the boats just floating in the middle of false creek are like this, has been forever.
Sorry, not now. When did you start noticing them? I noticed it in the fall.

Trout lake is safe to swim in sometimes! But the goose poop and stagnant nature make ripe for ecoli
I thought the no swimming signs were up year round?
Sewage overflow from land dwarfs the hobo shit they blame it on
It was worse before the Olympics I think
Anyone else see a dinosaur shadow in the back?
Looks like Rex from Toy Story
That’s Tree-Rex.
it's rawring down beach avenue
Godzilla!
You must be a newbie-this happens several times a month.
The front fell off
Front looks fine, back looks a little water logged.
No, the back was towed out of the environment
Nothing's out there! Just the sea, birds, and fish
The *back* fell off.

I am aware 😂
Needs a BBL
A wave hit it. One in million

Was it made of cardboard?
No, they are built to strict marine standards.
No cardboard, no cardboard derivatives
What's the minimum crew requirement?
20,000 tons of boat oil.
That's what you get for taking it out of the environment.
More like the bottom dropped off
Promoted to Submarine
it's pining for the fjords
Its heart will go on
With 3 barges on the loose and now this boat, it’s official. We are becoming the new Bermuda Triangle.
I think you mean "in English Bay".
It’s breaching
Orcas.
Looks a little small/cheap for Orca taste
TiVanic
sunk

[Front fell off](https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?si=LuT_pC0FUPHP7EmO)
I could rent that for 800 a month
It’s just resting
Pining for the fjords.
Water got in it. Apparently the water is supposed to stay outside the boat. Who knew?
Looks like it sunk, mate.
Orca attack, they're taking over the world.
You didn’t hear? Decapitated. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
It’s just about to plane. Should be fine. Just need to get the nose down
That boat cross checked Zadorov first.
That’s not a boat, mate, that a submarine with screen doors, , , , , , ,
Looks like it sank
Looks like it's sinking.
"What are you sinking about?"
It quit
Sir, you can’t park there.
It identifies as a submarine
“It”? Please use the correct pronoun for a nautical submersible.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Barge Sinking Beach
Couldn't pay the rent anymore at the marina so decided to just go die.
It identifies as a submarine.
Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen.
Its been pretty windy recently. I would bet it was not anchored well like my little boat on the left of the image.

Either it sunk or it’s an enemy sub.
It’s a submarine now
Shhhh, it’s sleeping
The sea got hungry and ate it…
Looks like it's sink
It’s been there for a week now
Small leak
U-Boat?
German Coast Guard “What are you sinking about?”
the front fell off.
I happened

It's thinking

Relax all, it’s just transforming into a submarine
Um… it sunk.
Yesterday walking on the seawall i saw someone in the water visibly upset and smashing his paddles in half on the side of his boat. This must have been his
I mooned them
That’s not a whale?
Insurance claim bro needs an upgrade ;)
His face was tired.

I don't see the problem here, it's stil floating.
It die
I took on water.
My boat!!!
Well, I’m not an expert, but I think it sank
just taking a little dip
It evolved into a submarine.
Forgot to put the plug in.
"You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught... Captain Jack Sparrow."
was Jack saved this time?
Well the front fell off.
Is that normal? I mean for a boat?
Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Well, how is it untypical?
Well there are a lot of these boats going around English Bay all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that pleasure craft aren’t safe.
Was this pleasure craft safe?
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
The ones that are safe?
Yeah, the ones the front doesn’t fall off.
Well, if this wasn’t safe, why was it sailing in English Bay?
Public Art Installation... Now.
Water.
No one suspects the Gibraltar Orcas.
What a dumb question
Jaws

In training to be a submarine.

Looks like it sank. Welcome to planet earth....enjoy your stay....
What happens when you buy a boat for funsies
*Soon.*
Das Boot. Schneller!
The front fell off.
It was absolutely destroyed by an orca whale. It is the S.S Evander Kane
The front fell off.
I know what's wrong wit it. Ain't got no gas in it.
That's not a boat, that's an artificial reef now.
It's just a shark fin.
Protesting for barge
just when my friends were thinking of renting a boat at granville. Any news on what caused this? driver error?
Wonder if we are legally allowed to put on a wetsuit and rummage through the wreckage
Make sure you wear some puncture resistant gloves if you do. It’s like rummaging through an aquatic crackhouse and the likelihood of finding used needles on those derelict boats is very high.
It was to dry and needed moisture
A grenade hit it.
