Horn River (Radium line)

The Horn River was a tugboat built and operated by the radium line.^[1] Her launch date is unknown.

In 2019 the Horn River and several other older tugboats that had been mothballed, for years, were scheduled to be scrapped. ^[2] An exception was made for the Radium Franklin, which was seen as worthy of being turned into a museum ship.
