Dover

Dover is a town and major ferry port in South East England.  Its also the last part of the players journey in England.  From here, they'll board a ferry to France where they'll board the Orient Express.  Dover is famous for its chalk cliffs (the White Cliffs of Dover), and the narrow sea passage between England and France.  its strategic position has been evident througout history, archaeolgical finds have revealed that the area has always been a fous for people entering and leaving Britain and has been inhabited since the Stone Age - who knows what cults are hidden in the back alleys and basements of Dover.

This photo comes from Shorpy (www.shorpy.com), and while its not really the Orient Express, I like the image and players likely wont know the difference.  Since this is just intended to enhance the mood and help players visualize what theyre doing and where they're doing it....

Anyway.  from Shorpy - March 1943, Needles  California.  Electrician B Fitzgerald cleaning the headlight of a locomotive at the Atchinson, Topeka, & Santa Fe yard.  All engines operating west of Needles are equipped with hooded headlights in accordance with the blackout regulations.  Photo by Jack Delano, Office of War Information.
