The company, however, ran a number of routes close to Vancouver where overnight accommodations on board ship would be unnecessary, with the objective being to carry large numbers of day passengers. To distinguish vessels intended for this service from the company's other ships, these day vessels were given names that began with "Lady", and included

Other Howe Sound ports of call included Porteau, Anvil Island, Britannia, Woodfibre, Squamish, Keats Island, Grantham’s Landing, and Gibson’s Landing. “Sunshine Coast” ports of call included Gower Point, Wilson Creek, Robert’s Creek, Selma Park, Halfmoon Bay, Buccaneer Bay, Pender Harbour, Savary Island, Powell River, and Cortez Island, and Stuart Island.

A costly grounding occurred at
Stillwater on December 14, 1944, resulting in damage to the propellers, shafting, and steering engine. Replacement propellers cost $ 1045 each and the company received a scrap value of $ 150 for the old propellers. Total cost of the repair was $ 12,702.30.

The ship was licensed for a maximum of 900 passengers on summer excursions, 800 passengers in other summer travel, and 500 passengers during the winter. Cargo capacity was approximately 75 tons. The official
