Radium Charles The Radium Charles was launched in 1946. In 2005 the Atomic Energy Canada published a stody on the toxic legacy of the mining of radioactive ore at Port Radium. It said that the Radium Charles and all other surviving vessels, with the exception of the Radium Gilbert, were uncontaminated. In 2005 she was stored in Hay River.

Noted English professor Hugh MacLennan described riding the ships of the Radium Line for a 1959 article in Maclean's magazine. In that account he offered the example of the Radium Charles's purser as an example of how working on the Mackenzie was excellent preparation for a young man.
