NB This is an illustration of Miller/Symington experimental steam boat of 1788 at Dalswinton (it follows the text about that). The book contains the following footnote on page 122 "The first experimental steamer, depicted on page 120, is by mistake called the "Comet" - the vessel of that name, and which was the first commercial passage-boat in Great Britain, was not constructed until 1812, and was named after the great comet of 1811."
