Administrative history

The "O.K. Service X" was a motor vessel built by DeHaan and Oerlemans-Heusden in 1948. It was originally owned by Damers and VanDerHeide Shipping and Trading Company of Rotterdam and named "Elisa." The vessel was purchased by O.K. Service Shipping Limited in 1955 and renamed "O.K. Service X" in 1956. It was registered in Nassau, Bahamas under the British Flag and operated by Himmelman Supply Company. Captain Cecil Parsons and Captain C. Williams Gillet were the primary captains for the vessel. During its operation, the vessel sailed from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean carrying explosives and returning with alcoholic spirits for the liquor commissions in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Edward and Nova Scotia.

The O.K. Service X was sold to Galleon Shipping Company of Tampa, Florida in January, 1975 and renamed the "Barma". It left La Have, Nova Scotia on January 5, 1975 on route to Kings Bay, George. On January 6, 1975 it was abandoned at sea and sank.
