M.V. Gwaii Haanas was built in 1975 for the Ministry of Forests. She was built in sections to a Ed Monk design in Sechelt, and then shipped to Revelstoke for assembly. The vessels name at that time was the M.V. KINBASKET FOREST, named for the Kinbasket Lake near Revelstoke. For the next 18 years, the Kinbasket Forest was a crew boat that enabled forestry crews to work along the shoreline of the new lake created by the Revelstoke dam.
She was decommissioned from government service in 1993 and sold to a Vancouver owner. He cruised her extensively, including a 6 month trip to Alaska. The Kinbasket Forest was then sold again, being purchased by the Provincial Parks department for use in the Queen Charlotte Islands; (Haida Gwaii). The Haida watchmen renamed the vessel the Gwaii Haanas, meaning "Place of wonder" in aboriginal Haida language, and operated her as a crewing and supply vessel for their many outstations in the park. The Gwaii Haanas was again decommissioned from government service in the spring of 2000 and was then sold that summer.
