Hi: No guarantees, but this sounds like one of the Canadian Pacific Steamships (waterborne Canadian Pacific Railway) that sailed regularly between Vancouver, BC, Victoria, BC, and Seattle, Washington. The Kathleen, Marguerite, and Patricia were sister ships designed to carry vehicles and passengers on the "Triangle Route" about the Gulf of Georgia and Puget Sound. The had staterooms because, although the trips were not long, they frequently were scheduled for overnight to arrive at the destination the following morning. They were still in service in the late '40s when I had the pleasure of traveling between Vancouver and Victoria on the Patricia with my parents. They were superseded by more plebeian ferries as the number of vehicles requiring transport grew.
