Description |
English: This anchor was salvaged from the RMS Empress of Asia, a pre-war passenger liner converted into a troopship. It transported last-minute reinforcements of British troops from England to Singapore. On 5 February 1942, the ship was spotted by Japanese planes as it approached Singapore. It was the slowest and last ship in the convoy, and it was bombed and sunk despite the fierce defence put up by nearby ships. The ship's crew and most of the troops were rescued, but all the weapons on board were lost. After the British surrender, the rescued soldiers were taken as prisoners-of-war and many were sent to the Thai-Burma "Death Railway". |
