AN event shining the spotlight on the paddle steamer Comet takes place at Port Glasgow Town Hall this week.
There will be displays, children’s activities and the chance to discover and share stories about the vessel which was built in Port Glasgow and became the first commercially successful passenger steamboat in Europe when it entered service in 1812.
There will also be information about the new replica of the Comet which is currently under construction.
