  • HMT Empire Windrush, originally MV Monte Rosa, was a passenger liner and cruise ship launched in Germany in 1930. She was owned and operated by the German shipping line Hamburg Süd in the 1930s under the name Monte Rosa. During World War II she was operated by the German navy as a troopship. At the end of the war, she was taken by the British Government as a prize of war and renamed the Empire Windrush. In British service, she continued to be used as a troopship until March 1954, when the vessel caught fire and sank in the Mediterranean Sea with the loss of four crewmen. HMT stands for "His Majesty's Transport" and MV for "Motor Vessel". In 1948, Empire Windrush brought one of the first large groups of postwar West Indian immigrants to the United Kingdom, carrying 1,027 passengers and two stowaways on a voyage from Jamaica to London. 802 of these passengers gave their last country of residence as somewhere in the Caribbean: of these, 693 intended to settle in the United Kingdom. British Caribbean people who came to the United Kingdom in the period after World War II, including those who came on later ships, are sometimes referred to as the Windrush generation. (en)
  • Le HMT Empire Windrush - parfois aussi désigné sous le nom de MV Empire Windrush - est un navire symbolique dans l'histoire de l'immigration et du multiracialisme de la société britannique contemporaine. L’Empire Windrush débarqua le 22 juin 1948 à Tilbury, près de Londres, avec 492 immigrants des Caraïbes à son bord. Ces passagers constituèrent le premier groupe important d'immigrants en provenance des Antilles britanniques à arriver au Royaume-Uni après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Faisant partie des 500 000 immigrants de la communauté afro-caribéenne du Royaume-Uni, ils constituent ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui la « génération Windrush ». Avant la guerre, c'était un navire de croisière allemand, lancé en 1930 pour la Hamburg Süd ; il portait initialement le nom de Monte Rosa.Il servit de transport de troupe pour la Wehrmacht pendant le conflit ainsi que pour la déportation de Juifs norvégiens vers le Danemark qui seront ensuite assassinés à Auschwitz. L'armée britannique s'en empara à Kiel en mai 1945 comme prise de guerre. (fr)
  • La Empire Windrush è stata una nave passeggeri costruita in Germania dalla Blohm + Voss nel 1930 con il nome Monte Rosa. Operò come nave di linea negli anni trenta per la compagnia Hamburg Süd e come nave per il trasporto delle truppe tedesche durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

  • HMT „Empire Windrush”, pierwotnie MV „Monte Rosa” – niemiecki oceaniczny statek pasażerski w eksploatacji od 1931 roku, podczas II wojny światowej zarekwirowany przez marynarkę wojenną (Kriegsmarine), po wojnie przekazany Wielkiej Brytanii w ramach reparacji wojennych, gdzie pod nazwą „Empire Windrush” służył jako transportowiec wojska do zatonięcia w 1954 roku. W 1948 roku na pokładzie statku do Anglii przybyło kilkuset imigrantów z Indii Zachodnich. Wydarzenie to wyznacza początek fali imigracyjnej z dawnych kolonii brytyjskich, trwającej do 1971 roku, w ramach której w Wielkiej Brytanii osiadło ponad 500 tys. osób. (pl)
