Administrative history
The M/V "O.K. Service IV" was a 143-ton three-mast wooden auxiliary schooner built in 1937 by W.C. MacKay and Sons in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. The vessel was operated by Ernest H. Himmelman and O.K. Service IV Shipping Limited, a subsidiary of Himmelman Supply Company and O.K. Service Shipping Limited. The vessel was jointly owned by various members of the Himmelman family and other shareholders. It was primarily Captained by W.C. Wilkie, but C. William Gillett, Arthur D. Himmelman, Harold Fiander, and other captains also acted as ship's master.
The M/V "O.K. Service IV" was initially used to transport fish and lobster between ports in Atlantic Canada. Later, it was used to transport explosives from the port at La Have, Nova Scotia to ports in the Caribbean and Central and Southern America. On February 23, 1963 the M/V "O.K. Service IV" was carrying a cargo of explosives and detonators and ran aground on a reef near Mayaguana Island in the Bahamas. The vessel was destroyed in the accident and was demolished in Nassau, Bahamas.
