The boat visible Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant, a converted Yugoslavian passenger ferry that became a floating restaurant in 1970. The restaurant thrived during the 1970s and 1980s but gradually declined, in the past decade entering bankruptcy and entering into a downward spiral as described by its overwhelmingly negative Yelp reviews before it was shut down in 2012. The most recent news is that the decrepit ship will soon be towed away and sold for scrap.
Behind Captain John's is One Yonge Street, the brutalist 25-story office tower that is home to, among others, the Toronto Star.
