I've been doing some research into the history of ferry service on Gabriola, but I've reached a bit of a stumbling block. I've been able to determine that from 1972-1977 Gabriola was serviced by the Kulleet, the Klatawa and the Kahloke, but I can't find any information on specific years theses ferries were in service on Gabriola. If anyone could help me find this information I would be very grateful!

You very well may have the Highways ferry booklet by Frank Clapp. It states the Klatawa was placed on the Gabriola route in '72, replaced by the larger Kahloke in '73. He doesn't mentioned Kulleet being on the run, and the next boat in his list was Quinitsa. |

I have seen that in Frank Clapp's booklet, but I found contradicting information in a 1972 copy of the Gabriola newspaper the Flying Shingle that welcomes the Kulleet as the replacement for the Westwood. It's making it hard to pin down a consistent timeline.

Perhaps Kulleet showed up briefly at Gabriola, but was not the vessel placed there on any regular basis. |

I seem to recall Klitsa being on the Gabriola run right before Quinitsa was launched in 1977.
