The original schooner Comet (circa 1910) was a vessel of legendary speed. She was designed, built, and sailed by Amos Stevens of Big Tancook Island, and was named in honour of Halley's Comet, which passed by planet Earth during the summer she was launched. Comet II was built from the original half-hull by Amos' grandson David and, like her namesake, is a speedy vessel.
