In August 1812, the steam passage boat " Comet," being the first steam 

 vessel ever built in Europe, began to run between Glasgow, Greenock, and 

 Helensburgh, with passengers only. She was advertised to leave the 

 Broomielaw on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at an hour suitable to 

 the tide, and to return from Greenock on Mondays, Wednesdays, and 

 Fridays. The fares were 4s. for the best cabin, and 3s. for the second, and 

 no gratuities to the vessel's servants were allowed. The boat was driven by 

 a condensing steam-engine of 4 horse-power. She had at first two sets of 

 paddle-wheels on each side of the vessel (shown in the model). Her greatest 

 speed was five miles per hour.
