Passage: the travel papers of the 1920s and 1930s, computed

2026-09-19

A new app joins the Toolbox. Passage prints the travel papers of an interwar journey, and it computes them instead of typing them out.

Pick a departure, a destination and a date between 1920 and 1939. Passage finds the real departure, the company, the steamer, train or aeroplane, the door to door duration and the fare of every class.
The network holds 87 places and 27 fictional but plausible companies, each modelled on a real one, with 139 steamers, expresses, aeroplanes and one airship line. Fixed sailing days, the Suez and Panama canals, boat trains, night stops, class names that shift with the years, and fares in pounds, dollars, francs, lire or guilders at that year's rate.
Arkham, Innsmouth, Kingsport and Dunwich sail from Boston.

One ticket per company on the route, in its own language and currency, plus the itinerary, a baggage label, a landing card and the passenger list.
Every document downloads as a PNG for the virtual table, and a share link rebuilds the whole dossier exactly as it was.

Every place, company, vessel and route has its page, with its sailing days, its fleet and a ticket in one click.
The guide gives the journey times and the fares of the period's great routes, from the Atlantic crossing to the mail run to Bombay.

Your NPCs on the passenger list, the 300 dpi print PDFs with crop marks, the dossier imposed on A4, document branding (your logo, company and vessel names), and a library of saved dossiers filed by campaign.

MGS Toolbox opens the travel documents office in a window, sends your party along as fellow passengers, and imports a dossier into the world as a journal entry with one image page per document.
