The restoration of the S. S. Minnow to its original splendor took a lot of effort. ” The environment’s totally new to it. The deck and sides, stuff like that were repaired”, said Jim Clark who is a custodian of the vehicle. Owner Ken Schely remarked,” Straight from the gunwales up to build a very remarkable, classic machine that so many people are aware of.” The boat is one of four ships that were used in the 1960s television set Gilligan’s Island. ” That’s where this ship came in and told the story. When they traveled through time, it was used in all the fantasy views, according to Clark. Over the years, this Minnow has had several fingers. In 2006, Ken Schely purchased it from a gentleman in Parksville. I was very curious and thinking that we could use this to help our organization at the very beginning when it was being sold, Schely said. Although it was used for commercial purposes by Quality Foods on Vancouver Island, lending it to nonprofits turned out to be the best move. ” People would raise$ 10, 000 money, not just in B. C. but in Alberta and different spots”, said Schely. ” It actually raised$ 25, 000 for Save The Whales in Seattle “.Trending Now

A number of years before, the later Dawn Wells— who played Mary Ann on the show — went for a walk on this S. S. Minnow. ” Certainly she was impressed by it”, said Clark. Docked in Nanaimo, it remains a floating gift to a part of TV story, that Schely plans to continue sharing around B. C.” We also do generosity. I also do gala activities and things like that”, said Schely. We’re going to do everything in our power to keep it moving and help the areas where we do business on Vancouver Island.
