The Empire Windrush was built in 1930. Originally constructed as a passenger ship for the British and Commonwealth Line, it was used primarily for transporting cargo and passengers between the UK and Australia. The ship is best known for its role in 1948, when it famously carried one of the first large groups of Caribbean migrants to the UK after World War II.
