There were actually four ships used during the shooting of Gilligan's Island, which aired from 1964 to 1967.

Like its fictional prototype, this Minnow also ran aground — on a reef in the Hecate Strait, which separates the Queen Charlotte Islands from the northern coast of B.C.'s mainland.

Check out the link to the cbc article and the video montage from the TV show.
