Radium Gilbert

She was named after Gilbert Labine, the prospector who discovered radioactive ore where Port Radium was built.

[3] She ran aground near Deline, the small community at the outlet for Great Bear Lake.

[1][5] By that time the population of Deline understood the toxic legacy of the trade in radioactive ore, and the nearby wreck was a painful reminder.

In 2005 Atomic Energy of Canada published a study of the toxic legacy of the mining of radioactive ore at Port Radium.

[6] According to the report all the other surviving vessels of the Radium line were found to be free of contamination.
