Travelling

The following table summarises probable journey times between points of the globe that are likely to be of interest to the investigators. Note that the steamship times are very approximate. There are a number of ports of call on most voyages, with stops varying from 2 hours to over 24 hours. Weather may also have an effect.

Exact timing will depend where in Australia one wishes to arrive. Additional journey times via ship around the coast are as follows:

The travelling times presented in the Masks of Nyarlathotep sourcebook are rather optimistic. The data above is mainly derived from Cook's Continental Timetable of 1939. I've used the fastest documented routes and providers I could find - but I may have missed some.

Admittedly this is 14 years after our adventure is set, but technology didn't move as fast then as it does now...
