Captain John's Leaving Toronto May 28 2015 6 images Created 28 May 2015
Captain John's Leaving Toronto on May 28, 2015 was a significant event in the city's maritime history. Captain John's was a popular seafood restaurant that had been operating aboard the M.V. Jadran, a retired cruise ship docked in Toronto's harbor since the 1970s.
Unfortunately, the restaurant had fallen on hard times in recent years due to declining patronage and maintenance issues with the aging vessel. Despite efforts to revive the business, including a crowdfunding campaign, the owners were unable to keep the restaurant afloat.
On May 28, 2015, the M.V. Jadran was towed away from its mooring in Toronto's harbor, marking the end of an era for the beloved restaurant. The departure of the ship was bittersweet for many Torontonians who had fond memories of dining on its decks while taking in the city skyline.
The future of the M.V. Jadran remains uncertain, as it was eventually sold to a scrap dealer in Turkey, but the memories of Captain John's and its unique location in Toronto's harbor will live on.
