I was out with the family this weekend getting by vitamin D fix. We went out for a BBQ at rocky point in Port Moody. We found a spot in the shade just to the right of where the new water park is. On the edge of the water I noticed a old wooden construction, at first I thought is was some kind of wooden retaining wall, and then I walked over and noticed is was an old wooden boat that was falling apart and rotting. The craftsmanship was phenomenal, on the part that I could see. I tried looking for any identification but there is none.
Does anyone have any info on the boat. I tried researching on the net but can find nothing. Perhaps some of the old timers know what happened and why the boat is up on the sand.
I also noticed on the other side of the bay, there was an old building of some sort.. any info would be great.
In my serach i found a picture.

My friend's dad's uncle worked on that boat. Ate too many Burrard inlet crab one night and you know the rest. Ran the boat aground from chemicals in the crab. :P Hear they're tasty now though :-X
