See the National Geographic "Ghost Ships of the Great Lakes" on the story of a female crewman of the "Olive Jeanette" named Frankie Waters who witnessed the loss of the "L.R.Doty" in 1898 and who was lost on the "Olive Jeanette" in 1905-and those skull was accidently found in 1951.

Frankie’s name should be added to the crew list

Absolutely added!
A known crew member, evidence of her death on the wreckage.

Frankies Waters name should be on that list of victims. I just watched the documentary on the Discovery channel and it was great.

I agree with the others, Frankie Waters name should be added to the list of victims. In this day and age why would you ever leave it off just astounds me.

After watching "Ghost ships of the Great Lakes" on National Geographic, I believe that there should be further inquiry albeit government,private or societal into whether or not the skull recovered in 1951 was that of Frankie Waters. It seems that the skull should be somewhere, I know the police file is missing, perhaps maybe someone within that County(with proper access) could attempt to locate the missing file and hopefully along with the file will be the skull. This amazing story is part of OUR Great Lakes history and should be properly accounted for, verified and preserved for future generations.
I personally live downstate but I'm thinking maybe a call to the Great Lakes Shipwreck museum and their subsequent involvement may help to generate renewed interest in this case. Also any possible living descendants of "Frankie Waters" (I believe that was an alias) would most certainly like to see their ancestor properly laid to rest. Since her resting place in the depths of Lake Superior was taken from her. I certainly don't mind helping as much as I possibly can. Please feel free to email me. Jrd121878@gmail.com
