HMT Empire Windrush

On the 22nd June, 1948, the famous ship arrived in the Essex dock after stopping in Trinidad, Jamaica, Mexico, Cuba and Bermuda.

Many of those aboard sought work and a new life in their destination, England. This was during a period where the UK faced economic collapse and needed more workers to rebuild the country after the war.

Since the Second World War, the Windrush Generation have helped shape modern British culture and society. To commemorate, Windrush Day is held on the 22^nd of June each year – marking the date the ship disembarked.
