RMS Windsor Castle was a British steamship built in 1921 for the Union-Castle Line, primarily operating on the Southampton-Cape Town route. The ship was known for its luxurious amenities, including a swimming pool, gymnasium, and spacious passenger accommodations. During World War II, Windsor Castle was converted into a troopship, transporting soldiers and prisoners of war. After the war, the ship was returned to commercial service but faced financial challenges due to the rise of air travel. In 1959, Windsor Castle was sold and eventually scrapped in 1960. The ship played a significant role in the transportation of passengers and troops during a tumultuous period in history, reflecting the evolution of maritime travel and the impact of global conflicts on the shipping industry.
