The HMS Windrush was a former German passenger ship that was used to transport Caribbean immigrants to the UK in 1948. The ship had a capacity of around 1,500 passengers.
Those who arrived on the Empire Windrush in 1948 had been housed in Clapham South Deep Air Raid Shelter, before being dispersed across the country to areas in which their labour was needed.
There were around 492 passengers on the HMT Empire Windrush ship that arrived in Britain in June 1948 from Jamaica, marking the beginning of large-scale migration from the Caribbean to the UK.
John Agard met a 13 year old boy, who was the youngest boy on the first trip on the Windrush ship. He got inspired, and then wrote the poem about the adventures trip on the Windrush.
