The new bow arrived on 26 October. By mid-November it was in position and being joined to the rest of the ship. Men from the J.I. Thornycroft shipbuilders in Southampton were also employed to assist the Harland and Wolff workforce in getting "Suevic" rebuilt as quickly as possible. The bow was a good fit, a testimony to the craftsmanship of the Harland and Wolff shipwrights. Three months later, after the largest ship rebuilding effort ever undertaken at the time, on 14 January 1908, "Suevic" was completed and returned to service.
