Frank R. Crevier (1910-1986) had a true love of Great Lakes Ships as he represented in his delineation of these vessels in his many works. His mission with every piece he drew and hand-colored, was to preserve a part of our heritage of water transportation.

Frank was born in Marine City in 1910 to Dr. Frank J and Anna Roberts Crevier. His father died when he was seven years of age and he was raised by his mother ad grandmother. Catherine Harrow Roberts, whose father and brothers build the side wheel tug Young America and other vessels just north of Algonac. His grandfather, William, and great-uncle, Walter Roberts, along with David Lester organized the Lester And Roberts shipyard in Marine City, which was later sold to Sidney McLouth. He later moved to Algonac where he married his childhood sweetheart Dixie. His studio was located in Algonac behind his home. He traveled the country in his vocation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
