For three decades the Windrush was the maritime Zelig of the 20th century, playing
different roles in the most turbulent years in modern times. Designed in 1930 in the
Hamburg boatyard of a Jewish shipbuilder to ferry Germans to a new life in South
America, it wasn't long before Goebbels requisitioned her as one of his ‘Strength
Through Joy’ vessels. However, her duties soon darkened: she became a Nazi troop
carrier, a support vessel for the pocket battleship Tirpitz and a prison ship
transporting Jews to Auschwitz.
Captured by the British in Kiel in 1945 and renamed the SS Empire Windrush, she then
spent years evacuating displaced service people and, in her famous single voyage from
the Caribbean, she brought the first wave of black migrants to Britain, thus changing
the country's ethnic makeup for all time. Windrush: The Soul of a Ship is Paul
Arnott’s vivid biography of a unique vessel, combining the memories of people who were
there with a gripping account of an extraordinary merchant ship at the end of empires.
