PS Lily was a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the London and North Western Railway from 1880 to 1900.^[1]

History

She was built by Cammell Laird for the London and North Western Railway in 1880. She was a sister ship to Violet and built to the same specification. They were intended to operate a new overnight service between Holyhead and Dublin. The service previously had only been during the day time.

The ship had new boilers and engines fitted in 1890-91 to increase the speed from 17¾ knots to 19½ knots. In 1892 she suffered a failure in a piston rod when between Dublin and Holyhead.^[2] She was towed for a time by the Irene but after three hours the hawser parted. The Cambrian was sent out to rescue her, but when she was found, the Lily was making slow progress under her own steam. She took 10 hours to reach Holyhead.

She was sold in 1900 to Liverpool and Douglas Steamers Ltd.
