SS Ormonde

SS Ormonde or RMS Ormonde was a British ocean liner and later troopship. It was notable as the first post-war migrant ship from the Caribbean to dock at Tilbury Docks on 31 March 1947, over a year before the better known HMT Empire Windrush. For this journey there were 241 passengers, including 11 stowaways and 6 distressed seamen (sailors without a ship). Poet Hannah Lowe's father, Ralph, was among those on board.
