Britain's Ministry of Information produced hundreds of propaganda films during WWII. TROOP SHIP dates from around 1940, and shows a converted ocean liner drafted into Royal Navy service transporting soldiers to the front in North Africa. Told from the perspective of a soldier, the film contains wonderful footage shot on board ship during an eight week sea journey. Throughout the voyage, a convoy of warships escorts the ocean liner.

It is February 1917. To provide logistical support on the front, a troopship of volunteers from the South African Native Labour Contingent is sent to France. The men never arrive. Their vessel, the SS Mendi, sinks in a tragic accident in the English Channel. More than 600 men perish, the majority of them black South Africans of diverse tribal origins.
This incident, minor though it may seem to be against the backdrop of the Great War, still troubles some South African communities today. A story endures of what happened in the final hours before the volunteers drowned, when a charismatic Xhosa priest called the men to dance a warrior dance on deck as they ship sunk into the freezing water.
A young storyteller Zwai Mgijima takes the burden of this story onto his shoulders. While writing a play about the SS Mendi, he seeks answers from the old people who still live in the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape to fill out the record of this tragedy. Zwai goes on a journey to put the story to rest, he travels from rural Pondoland to England to find the SS Mendi on the sea bed. Joining forces with another South African, a marine archaeologist called John Gribble, he intends to disturb the slumber of that watery grave.

Vietnam Graffiti Project co-founders Art and Lee Beltrone discuss the discovery of the Troopship: USNS Gen. Nelson M. Walker in the James River, the artifacts discovered on board and the process of scrapping the ship.
In 1997 the General Nelson M. Walker was a forgotten troopship in Virginia's "Ghost Fleet." Despite her rusted exterior, the ship's lower levels contained thousands of historical artifacts from the 1960's, including graffiti inscribed by soldiers and Marines going to Vietnam. The ship was a time capsule.
Art and Lee Beltrone have preserved the discovered artifacts, honoring the Vietnam War veterans with its "Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnam" traveling exhibit, and recording the voyage stories of the men who went to war aboard the Walker.
Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnam is the Vietnam Graffiti Project's national touring exhibit, featuring artifacts from the troopship General Nelson M. Walker. The "Marking Time: Voyage to Vietnam" was featured on CBS's April 25th Evening News. View this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xByWfB...
Included in the exhibit is an original eight-person berthing (bunk) unit recovered from the ship. It is outfitted with original bedding and bright, orange-colored life vests found on the Walker when the vessel was scrapped in 2005. Historic graffiti-inscribed berthing canvases are included for wall display, and personal stories of soldiers and Marines who made voyages from late 1965 to the end of 1967 can be heard at audio stations. Canvases with graffiti representing states where the exhibit appears are used whenever available. Small artifacts include personal items left behind by soldiers and Marines on their way to Vietnam. Ship safety objects and cleaning supplies are exhibited to interpret the voyage experience. More information can be found by visiting http://www.vietnamgraffiti.com

Troopship
A troopship (also troop ship or troop transport or trooper) is a ship used to carry soldiers, either in peacetime or wartime. Operationally, standard troopships – often drafted from commercial shipping fleets – cannot land troops directly on shore, typically loading and unloading at a seaport or onto smaller vessels, either tenders or barges.
Attack transports, a variant of ocean-going troopship adapted to transporting invasion forces ashore, carry their own fleet of landing craft. Landing ships beach themselves and bring their troops directly ashore.
History
Ships to transport troops were already used in Antiquity. Ancient Rome used the navis lusoria, a small vessel powered by rowers and sail, to move soldiers on the Rhine and Danube.
The modern troopship has as long a history as passenger ships do, as most maritime nations enlisted their support in military operations (either by leasing the vessels or by impressing them into service) when their normal naval forces were deemed insufficient for the task. In the 19th century, navies frequently chartered civilian ocean liners, and from the start of the 20th century painted them gray and added a degree of armament; their speed, originally intended to minimize passage time for civilian user, proved valuable for outrunning submarines and enemy surface cruisers in war. HMT Olympic even rammed and sank a U-boat during one of its wartime crossings. Individual liners capable of exceptionally high speed transited without escorts; smaller or older liners with poorer performance were protected by operating in convoys.

It is outfitted with original bedding and bright, orange-colored life vests found on the Walker when the vessel was scrapped in 2005. Historic graffiti-inscribed berthing canvases are included for wall display, and personal stories of soldiers and Marines who made voyages from late 1965 to the end of 1967 can be heard at audio stations. Canvases with graffiti representing states where the exhibit appears are used whenever available. Small artifacts include personal items left behind by soldiers and Marines on their way to Vietnam. Ship safety objects and cleaning supplies are exhibited to interpret the voyage experience. More information can be found by visiting http://www.vietnamgraffiti.com
