Abstract
Lascar seamen and other sailors from the British Empire were deployed on vessels of the merchant marine and ocean liners to transport goods and passengers across the world. Hired predominantly by European and American shipping companies as cheap labour, they performed a vital role in the First World War to keep cargo flowing across sea routes.
