The first person to apply steam power to shipping was Henry Bell, in 1812 with his ship, the Comet and I posted about the two hundredth anniversary of the beginnings of steam navigation almost three years ago.
One of the obelisks I referred to in that post is on the front at Helensburgh. I photographed it last month.
