Description:When eighty-seven passengers and crew died in the shipwreck of the Royal Mail ship Egypt in 1922, the accident gave rise to a racist international press campaign against the employment of Indian seafarers, such as those who made up most of the ship's crew. This was not unusual at a time when a fifth of the British mercantile marine's workforce was recruited from the subcontinent.
