The Comet - Cartoon Style

As part of the Identity project run by Inverclyde Community Development Trust, the team worked with St John's Primary School to produce an animation based on the story of the historic vessel.

The film was illustrated, scripted and recorded by pupils - it's smashing.

St John's also worked with the team to tell the story of their own school for the Identity Graphic Novel, The Archivist's Treasure.

Requiem for The Comet

"Requiem for the Comet" was a lament written following the wreckage of the original Comet. This recording by Paul McLaughlin was made in 2005 as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund supported project called "Downriver"; over a dozen local folk songs and ballads were re-recorded by contemporary Inverclyde bands and performers.
To hear more of the songs and to explore Inverclyde legends and folklore, have a look at the Tales of the Oak blog.

While our Comet project is now at an end, The Trust have another exciting new heritage project about to launch, head over to our new Identity blog to find out more....
