- Description
- An eagle takes up a large portion of the top half of the poster. The eagle is mid flight but appears to be reacting to something because its claws are in a defensive position. The eagle is flying over a shipping yard, with a city in the background. A red sun appears at the horizon. Text at bottom: THE SHIPS ARE COMING / United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation .
