==Fate==
In 1875, the schooner ''Ann'' was driven against a steamship at [[Greenock]], [[Renfrewshire]] and sank. The ''Glasgow Herald'' reported a piece from the ''Greenock Telegraph'' which stated "part of the hull of the Ann was all that was left of Henry Bell's old Comet, the first steam-vessel ever to sail in European waters. Some years ago she was bought up by Smillie, of Glasgow, and Bell's old engine taken out. She was lengthened, made a schooner, and was run on the Larne trade, where she was at great favourite, and was familiarly called the 'Long Ann'. Some time since she was burnt down to the waters edge, but her hull was so good, and she was such a favourite with her owners, that they hauled her into dock and fitted her. The curious thing is, that having been built at Port-Glasgow 63 years ago, and undergoing many vicissitudes, she should, like an old weather-beaten sailor, end her days almost at the threshold of her own home."<ref name=GH250275>{{Cite news |title=Gale and Snowstorm |newspaper=The Herald|location=Glasgow |date=25 February 1875 |issue=10972 }}</ref>
