Why Not Apply the Santos Dumont Plan to the Transport Problem Until We Get Ships?

description

Summary

This illustration entitled, "Why Not Apply the Santos Dumont Plan to the Transport Problem Until We Get Ships?", by cartoonist Clifford Berryman, which appeared in the Washington Evening Star on January 9, 1916, asks the question of why not adopt the plan of Santos Dumont of Brazil, an early pioneer of air travel who had proposed the use of air travel as a means to transport goods for international trade, to open trade with South America until the United States could expand its merchant fleet.

Berryman Political Cartoon Collection

Berryman was born in Kentucky in 1869 and began his career in Washington at age 17 as a draftsman for the U.S. Patent Office. In 1891 he became a cartoonist's understudy at the Washington Post , and within five years he had risen to become the paper's chief political cartoonist. For more than 50 years, from 1896 to 1949, Berryman's cartoons appeared almost daily on the front page of the Washington Post and then the Washington Evening Star. Washington political circles embraced Berryman's cartooning. Berryman rarely drew mean-spirited cartoons and was balanced in his commentary of partisan politics. He was a talented portraitist and his cartoons are renowned for their accurate portrayal of well-known gurus. Berryman often gave away his original cartoons and examples of his artwork can be found in collections across the country.

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars.
