The Frank C. Ball was an American Bulk carrier that was built by the Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ecorse, Michigan, for the Globe Steamship Company (managed by G. A. Tomlinson, Mgr.)

She was converted to a self-unloading sand dredge, and repowered by a steam powered Turbo-electric engine at American Shipbuilding Company of Lorain, Ohio.

Her original engine was installed in the Ford Motor Company's former barge, the Lake Frugality, when she was requisitioned for salt water service in World War II.

In 1960 the Sensibar had a new diesel engine installed, she also had her cargo hatches raised by Christy Corporation of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

She was later resold to a Spanish scrapyard, leaving Quebec with the steamer George M. Carl towed by the Polish tug Koral.
