The Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury on 22 June 1948, carrying 493 passengers from Jamaica wishing to start a new life in the United Kingdom. The passengers (including one stowaway) were the first large group of West Indian immigrants to the UK after the Second World War. Before 1948, the ship, under the name of Monte Rosa, had been used for cruises in pre-war Germany, and then as a German troopship and prisoner transport ship, before being captured by the British and taken as a war prize.

She continued to be used as a British troopship after 1948, but sank in the Mediterranean Sea in March 1954 after a sudden and catastrophic fire in her engine room, just off the coast of Algeria.

  • La Empire Windrush era una nave che ebbe una parte rilevante nella storia multietnica del Regno Unito. Il 22 giugno 1948 la Empire Windrush approdò a Tilbury con 492 passeggeri provenienti dalla Giamaica, che speravano di cominciare una nuova vita nel Regno Unito. I passeggeri furono il primo grande gruppo di immigranti, provenienti dalle Indie Occidentali, che si trasferirono negli UK dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale. Lo sbarco dei passeggeri divenne un episodio di grande importanza per la storia moderna della Gran Bretagna, simboleggiando l'inizio delle relazioni multiculturali moderne che avrebbero cambiato la società inglese in modo significativo negli anni a venire. Nel 1998, un'area pubblica a Brixton venne chiamata Windrush Square per commemorare il cinquantesimo anniversario dell'arrivo degli Indiani Occidentali.

For fjellmassivet i Alpene med samme navn, se Monte Rosa MS «Monte Rosa» var et passasjerskip som ble overlevert det tyske rederiet Hamburg-Südamerikanische Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft, Hamburg i 1931. Skipet var byggnummer 492 ved verftet Blohm & Voss i Hamburg, og ble etter overleveringen satt inn i rute mellom Hamburg og Sør-Amerika. Etter 1933 ble MS «Monte Rosa» leid inn som KdF-skip, og seilte i denne rollen frem til utbruddet av andre verdenskrig, da hun ble rekvirert av den tyske Kriegsmarine. Skipet ble ombygd til troppetransportskip, og gikk mellom Norge og Danmark med tropper og fanger. Skipet ble i juni 1944 skadet av en tidsinnstillt mine plassert av de norske motstandsmennene Max Manus og Gregers Gram, men greide å ta seg til havn. Etter krigen ble MS «Monte Rosa» tatt som krigsbytte av Storbritannia og omdøpt «Empire Windrush». Skipet ble skadet i en brann ombord i 1954, og sank kort tid etter under slep i Middelhavet underveis til verksted i Gibraltar.
