Source of title:

Title based on the following caption from the NFB Photo Story: Following the route taken by early explorers of the great north, such as Mackenzie and the Hudson Bay Company fur traders, the Radium Prospector tows a barge large enough to carry what a hundred men had a hard time taking out of the north in years gone by. The northern fleet of tugs and barges played an important part in the construction of the DEW line and have been of tremendous help to the uranium and gold mining industries in what used to be regarded as desert land.
