U.S. Maritime Commission, the 1940s U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("'I'm building the ships we need to win!'") featuring art of a smiling shipbuilder. Note that the United States Maritime Commission was an independent executive agency of the U.S. federal government that was created in 1936. It was intended to formulate a merchant shipbuilding program to design and build modern merchant cargo ships to replace the World War I (WWI) vessels that comprised the bulk of the United States Merchant Marine. From 1939 through the end of the war, the Maritime Commission funded and administered the largest and most successful merchant shipbuilding effort in world history, producing a total of 5777 oceangoing merchant and naval ships.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.
