Description
Un Marino, un heroe. The sailor here appears as a revolutionary hero. The depiction of the sailor and the message on the poster is similar to those that portray soldiers at the front. The revolutionary character of the sailor is indicated by his red color. At the start of the war, the Navy of Republican Spain was quite small with many ships that were at least fifteen years or older. All told, the Navy had one battleship (Jaime I), three cruisers, ten destroyers, nine torpedo boats, twelve submarines, one gunboat, six patrol boats, and fourteen landing craft with eleven auxiliary units. Art by Arturo Ballester Marco (1892-1981).
