The authors enumerate the non-isomorphic Steiner triple systems of orders 19, 27 and 31 that contain Veblen points: 3, 1736, and 2 with exactly three Veblen points, plus partial counts for order 31 with one Veblen point.
Steiner Triple Systems of Order 21 with Subsystems

abstract
The smallest open case for classifying Steiner triple systems is order 21. A Steiner triple system of order 21, an STS(21), can have subsystems of orders 7 and 9, and it is known that there are 12,661,527,336 isomorphism classes of STS(21)s with sub-STS(9)s. Here, the classification of STS(21)s with subsystems is completed by settling the case of STS(21)s with sub-STS(7)s. There are 116,635,963,205,551 isomorphism classes of such systems. An estimation of the number of isomorphism classes of STS(21)s is given.

On the number of small Steiner triple systems with Veblen points
The authors enumerate the non-isomorphic Steiner triple systems of orders 19, 27 and 31 that contain Veblen points: 3, 1736, and 2 with exactly three Veblen points, plus partial counts for order 31 with one Veblen point.
