Watercolour mounted on cradled wood panel - 20” x 30”
On a cool fall day people pass in front of the a repurposed 100-year-old building is a landmark and restaurant. Tap & Barrel Restaurant is on the site of a former shipyard located at the bottom of Lonsdale Ave in North Vancouver.
The yard opened as Wallace Shipyards in 1906, later operated as Burrard Dry Dock, Burrard-Yarrows, and finally as Versatile Pacific Shipyards before closing in the 1990s. Peak output came in World War II, when the yard made 109 of the 312 "Victory Ships" produced in Canada. The Tap & Barrel Shipyards location opened in 2015 in "a repurposed 100-year-old building" described on the restaurant's website as in the heart of the old shipyard. With 14,000 square feet, it is Western Canada's largest restaurant.
