The Komagata Maru incident was an immigration dispute in which passengers aboard the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru were denied entry in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on 23 May 1914. The 376 passengers (340 Sikhs, 24 Muslims and 12 Hindus from Punjab province, British India) were denied entry despite being British subjects under Canada's continuous journey regulation, which barred South Asian migration.
