Komagata Maru: Continuing the Journey

This website tells the story of the Komagata Maru incident of May 23, 1914, when a crowded ship from Hong Kong carrying 376 passengers from India arrived in Vancouver. The ship was not allowed to dock and sent back to India because Canada had established a “Continuous Passage” regulation that was designed to prevent people from India from immigrating to Canada, even though they were British subjects. When they arrived back in India, 19 of the passengers were immediately shot and many others were imprisoned.
