The first meetings were held in the open by Rev Joseph Grieves, who first visited in June 1829. The next month he writes that he preached for the first time "on a large boat near the quay; the most populous and wicked part of the town". Over the coming months many were saved and God's power was felt strongly. Meetings were started indoors in sail lofts around the harbour. By 1831 the chapel was opened having cost £830 1s 1d.
