Lizzie on 1887 passenger list?
I am not sure if this is "our" Lizzie. But her name is on a passenger list on the Germanic, going from Liverpool, England or Queenstown, Ireland, to New York in September of 1887. Her age comes out as her being born in 1858, though. And there are no other names on the page recognizable as a friend we would know of. Well, for what it's worth, here is the passenger page + photo of the ship + info about the ship.

Maybe this will be more readable. ...

Well, this was exciting for a few minutes. But it looks like this "Lizzie Borden" was a servant going to the United States from England.
I might as well go all the way in making a fool of myself, or I wouldn't be Augusta.
The ship part is interesting.
It was in service from 1874 - 1905 and had 2 funnels and 4 masts. It was also known in 1905 by the name "Ottawa" and in 1910 by the name "Gul Djemal". It's of the White Star Line.
It was built by Harland & Wolff, Ltd., Belfast, Ireland (same ones who built the Titanic). Tonnage: 5,008. Dimensions: 455' X 45' (468' o.l.). Single-screw, 16 knots. Compound engines, 5,000 I.P.H. Iron hull.
Launched July 15, 1874, Maiden voyage: Liverpool-NY, May 20, 1875. Won the trans-Atlantic "Blue Ribbon" in February 1876. Torpedoed by a British submarine in the Sea of Marmora, May 3, 1915, but was later salved (sic). Made several crossings to NY during 1920-21 for Turkish owners. Name changed to Gulcemal about 1928. Scrapped in 1950. Sister ship: Britannic.
