We examine a class of Steiner triple systems or order 21 with an automorphism consisting of three disjoint cycles of length 7. We exhibit explicitly all members of this class: they number 95 including the 7 cyclic systems. We then examine resolvability of the obtained systems; only 6 of the 95 are resolvable yielding a total of 30 nonisomorphic Kirkman triple systems of order 21. We also list several invariants of the systems and investigate their further properties.
