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

In 1964 the vessel was still called "the most powerful vessel on the Mackenzie River".

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 Dew and all other surviving vessels, with the exception of the Radium Gilbert, were uncontaminated. In 2005 she was "privately owned" in Hay River.
