Radium Prospector
From WikiAlpha
The Radium Prospector was a tugboat operated by the Northern Transportation Company's "Radium Line", on the tributaries of the Mackenzie River.[1][2] She was launched in 1956.[3]
In his memoirs Mike Krutko described the Radium Prospector losing all the cargo on all the barges she was pushing due to a dangerous storm on Great Slave Lake.[4]
