Shoot Ships to Germany and Help America Win
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Call to Action from Charles M. Schwab in this Powerful Poster from 1917 This evocative poster, dated 1917, features a striking image of two ships at sea, with the larger vessel painted in camouflage, blending into the water and the sky. The caption above the ships reads, "Shoot Ships to Germany and Help America Win," followed by the quote, "Charles M. Schwab Says: 'Let us make this the slogan of every American.' " Charles M. Schwab was a prominent American industrialist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, who made his fortune in the steel industry. During World War I, he was a vocal advocate for the war effort and used his influence to mobilize support for the war. This poster, which bears his name, was likely produced to encourage Americans to do their part in the war effort by supporting the U.S. Navy and attacking German ships. The image of the ships at sea is both beautiful and ominous, with the smaller ship in the foreground firing a gun towards the larger, camouflaged vessel. The use of camouflage on the larger ship underscores the importance of stealth and surprise in naval warfare, while the quote from Schwab serves as a rallying cry for Americans to take action and help their country win the war. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold, black text and a striking image that is sure to grab the viewer's attention. The use of the American flag in the background further emphasizes the patriotic message of the poster, making it a powerful symbol of American unity and determination during a time of war. Overall, this poster is a fascinating glimpse into American history and the spirit of patriotism that drove the country during World War I. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Americans during the war and the importance of unity and determination in times of crisis.
