EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, created in 1917, depicts a powerful eagle in flight, its outstretched wings casting shadows over a fleet of ships as they set sail for a distant shore. The ships, some engulfed in flames, represent the United States Shipping Board's Emergency Fleet Corporation, which was established during World War I to rapidly expand the American merchant marine fleet and ensure the safe transport of essential supplies to the Allied Powers. The poster, with its dramatic use of color and symbolism, was designed to inspire patriotism and rally support for the war effort. The eagle, a long-standing symbol of the United States, represents the country's strength and determination in the face of adversity. The ships, despite the danger of the flames, continue to move forward, symbolizing the resilience and resourcefulness of the American people in the face of crisis. The Emergency Fleet Corporation played a crucial role in the war effort, expanding the American merchant marine fleet from just 150 ships in 1916 to over 2,000 by 1919. This expansion allowed the United States to transport vital supplies, including food, fuel, and munitions, to Europe, helping to turn the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and determination of the American people during a time of great crisis. It also serves as a testament to the power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing public support for a cause.
