Radium Dew The Radium Dew was launched in 1955.^[1] She displaced 300 tonnes, and was the largest boat on the Mackenzie River system.^[2]

In 1964 the vessel was still called "the most powerful vessel on the Mackenzie River".^[3]

In 2005 the Atomic Energy Canada published a stody on the toxic legacy of the mining of radioactive ore at Port Radium.^[1] It said that the Radium Dew and all other surviving vessels, with the exception of the Radium Gilbert, were uncontaminated. In 2005 she was "privately owned" in Hay River.
