Administrative history
In 1926, Himmelman Shipping Limited purchased a 100-ton auxiliary schooner and named her "O.K. Service." This was the first of 12 ships that were operated by Himmelman Supply Company as the O.K. Service fleet. The vessel was used to transport lobster, fish, and other cargo between ports in Atlantic Canada and Boston. Little is known about the original "O.K. Service."
In 1975, a ship that was originally called "Aina", was bought by Himmelman Shipping Limited and renamed "O.K. Service". It was an 1100 ton dwt. ship that specialized in carrying high explosives from Nova Scotia to ports in the Caribbean and Central and South America. The vessel was retired in 1983 because of the company's poor economic situation.
