People in Vancouver may have experienced déjà vu this weekend as a runaway barge floated in waters of English Bay before it was brought under control.
The empty barge had broken free of its mooring buoy and a video posted to YouTube shows it floating just a few metres away from shore yesterday.
It was reminiscent of another barge that was stuck for a year at a neighbouring beach after it broke free during the November 2021 storms.
But two Coast Guard vessels kept yesterday's barge from running aground and it has now been secured to a different mooring buoy.
