The Empire Windrush was a ship that arrived in the United Kingdom from Jamaica in 1948, carrying one of the first large groups of Caribbean migrants after World War II. This journey marked the beginning of significant migration from the Caribbean to Britain, as many sought better job opportunities and a new life. The arrival of the Empire Windrush is often seen as a pivotal moment in British history, symbolizing the start of multiculturalism in the UK. The passengers, known as the Windrush Generation, played a crucial role in shaping British society, culture, and the workforce in the following decades.
