The capture of the Windrush refers to the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in England on June 22, 1948. This ship carried around 500 passengers from Jamaica, Trinidad, and other Caribbean nations, marking a significant moment in post-war British Immigration. The arrival of the Windrush symbolized the beginning of large-scale migration from the Caribbean to the UK, as many sought better opportunities and were invited to help rebuild the country after World War II. The event has since become emblematic of the contributions of Caribbean communities to British society.
