Teamwork wins" is a 1917 color lithograph poster issued under the name of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. The corporation was set up in 1917 to build merchant vessels fast enough to carry American troops and supplies overseas once the country entered the First World War, and posters like this one helped rally shipyard crews, suppliers and the public behind that goal. Printed by Hibberd, V.B. Kline, Thomsen-Ellis Co. in Baltimore and New York, with publication handled through the Philadelphia office, the sheet shows how wartime production was spread across several cities. Its message rests on the idea that no single yard or trade could meet the demand alone.
