Bell, Henry

    0.04 sec.

Bell, Henry (1767-1830)

Scottish marine engineer, one of the originators of steam navigation. He directed the building of the Comet, a small vessel 12 m/39 ft long, and constructed its engine. Launched on the River Clyde in 1812, it sailed between Greenock and Glasgow and was one of the first passenger-carrying steam vessels in Europe.

Bell was born at Torphichen Mill, Linlithgow. He served in a shipbuilding yard at Bo'ness, with an engineering firm in London, and in 1790 settled in Glasgow, but moved in 1807 to Helensburgh, where he studied mechanics.
