If you are nearby to Helensburgh this Thursday evening, pop along to this free talk from Wessex Archaeology about finding the wreck of the Paddlesteamer Comet which sank in 1820.

Come along and enjoy a talk about the search for the remains of Helensburgh’s celebrated PS Comet, Europe’s first commercial paddle steamer built in 1812 for Henry Bell, ex Provost of Helensburgh. The vessel was wrecked at Craignish Point in 1820. Part of Helensburgh’s CARS project, the talk on 26 February, at Helensburgh Civic Centre, will take you on a journey of exploration and adventure.
