Glasgow has given the world many things, especially in terms of engineering and ship-building, and one of these was Europe's first successful steam-powered passenger service which ran between Helensburgh, Glasgow and Greenock in the early 1800s. The ship which ran this route was called Comet, a paddlesteamer launched from Port Glasgow in 1812.
