The Seven Seas Restaurant, with its distinctive neon signage, was a popular destination for North Shore residents and visitors alike.
Moored at the foot of Lonsdale for more than 40 years, the former Ferry No. 5 was converted into a restaurant by Diamond Almas in 1959.
Built in 1941, the ship was the last of five ferries used to carry passengers and vehicles across Burrard Inlet. Ferry No. 5 operated until discontinuation of the ferry service in 1958. The restaurant shut in January 2001 and in 2002 the old No. 5 Ferry was removed and broken apart for scrap.
