'Comet' Fly Wheel on the Bank of the River Clyde

'Comet' Fly Wheel on the Bank of the River Clyde
The Comet flywheel and Henry Bell's anvil resited on Helensburgh's East Bay, close to the original jetty, as part of the Helensburgh bicentenary celebrations. It was formerly in Hermitage Park. Quoted from the Helensburgh Heritage website.

The green stands out beautifully against the blue sea and the distant misty land, and topped with a nice blue sky....perfect! Cheers, Rosa.

Thanks for your very kind comment, Rosa. If you look carefully you can see the shipwreck of the MV Captayannis, known locally as the Sugar Boat. It is just in front of the high flats in Greenock. Cheers, Joe
