History
La Have Shipping Limited, a subsidiary of Himmelman Supply Company, was formed in 1962 when they purchased the vessel "OK Service XI" (See series O.K. Service XI for more information) to replace the "O.K. Service VI". The company was incorporated in 1962 and the directors included G.S. Cowan, M. Kendall, C.L. Weaver, Ernest H. Himmelman and Lawrence Himmelman. Ernest Himmelman was president of the company and his son Lawrence was secretary. In 1966, Ernest H. Himmelman and Lawrence Himmelman were the remaining directors of the company. In 1971 there was a profit loss due to an increase in wages and repair costs, heavy competition in the shipping industry and a decline in business. The company wrapped up operations in 1974 after selling their only asset the "O.K. Service XI" in 1972.
