She was assisted by aircraft from RNAS Tresco and despite substantial damage, limped back to port under her own power.
In 1900, from September-November, Australian artists Hugh Ramsay and George Washington Lambert travelled on the ''Persic'' from Sydney to London. Lambert became successful in London; Ramsay preferred Paris but had to return to Australia when his health failed.
In 1920, ''Persic'' was refitted as a passenger vessel. She was scrapped in 1927, with a successful seven-year career as a liner behind her. In total she gave 28 years of reliable service.
