Fifty years ago the White Star liner Coptic arrived at Liverpool after completing her first charter to the Occidental and Oriental Line for the trans-Facific service. Following alterations, she was placed on the United Kingdom-New Zealand run; then, in 1894, after being reboilered, she went back again to the Oriental and Occidental service between Hongkong and San Francisco. In 1906 she was transferred to the Persia Steamship Company, a British flag subsidiary of the Pacific Mail Line, and was renamed Persia for further service in the Pacific. Japanese owners subsequently named her Persia Maru, and after trading between Japan and the East Indies she was finally laid up in 1924. being scrapped the following year. Built in 1881 by Messrs Harland and Wolff, the Coptic was a longdistance adaptation of their Atlantic design, and ran a few trips to New York. The present-day Shaw, Savill, and Albion liner Coptic was built in ; 1928 by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson.
