    Two Kirkman systems are isomorphic if there exists an isomorphism between the underlying Steiner triple systems that maps the parallel classes of the resolution of the first system into parallel classes of the resolution of the second one. Two different resolutions of a given Steiner triple system \(\text{STS}(v)\) define isomorphic Kirkman systems if and only if there is an automorphism of \(\text{STS}(v)\) mapping one of these resolutions into the other. The bound for the number of known non- isomorphic Kirkman triple systems KTS(33) of order 33 according to \textit{R. Mathon} and \textit{A. Rosa} [Ars Comb. 30, 65-96 (1990; Zbl 0734.05012)] is at lease one. In this paper, 28 non-isomorphic KTS(33) with an automorphism of order 11 are constructed from the 84 cyclic STS(33).
