Golden Gate & Orient Steamship Company
Golden Gate & Orient Steamship Company (Golden Gate Line) is a fictional steamship line of the Passage network, period-plausible, with 8 steamers on 2 routes.
Passage computes it for Call of Cthulhu and any 1920s or 1930s tabletop campaign: pick two places and a date, and print the ticket the purser's clerk would have written.
