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

Cambrian was sent out to rescue her, but when she was found, Lily was making slow progress under her own steam.

She was sold in April 1900 to Liverpool and Douglas Steamers Ltd, and scrapped at Preston in September, 1905.

Cylinder bore 78 inches, stroke 7 feet with double piston rods and crossheads.

It was stated in the article in The Engineer regarding the sister ships that "the Violet is a little the faster of the two", but it did not elaborate on how this conclusion was reached.
