Summary

Description
English: SS Persic, built in 1899 and scrapped in 1927.

Ceramic, of the White Star Line, was built in 1913 and was active on the Australia route. In 1934 Ceramic was sold to Shaw, Savill & Albion Line. In 1942 she was en route to Australia when a German U-boat torpedoed her in the Atlantic. Of 656 people aboard, only one survived.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Samuel J. Hood Studio Collection. Sam Hood (1870-1956) was a Sydney photographer with a passion for ships. His 72-year career spanned the romantic age of sail and two world wars. The photos in the collection were taken mainly in Sydney and Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.
