PS Scotia was a steam paddle passenger vessel that ran between Wales and Ireland from 1847 to 1861, and then became an American Civil War blockade runner.

Renamed General Banks, then Fanny and Jenny, she ran agound in February 1864 attempting to reach Wilmington, North Carolina.

[2][3][4] From 1858 to 1859 she was loaned to the Scilly Isles Steam Navigation Company until their new ship the Little Western was ready.

At Liverpool in December 1861, she was sold as a blockade runner and she made four runs and on the fifth attempting to reach Charleston she was captured by the Federals on 24 October 1862 at Bull's Bay, South Carolina.

She made two more runs against the Blockade but was driven ashore by the USS Florida on Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Inlet, North Carolina on 10 February 1864.
