Pellew and Patrick O'Brien
[edit]I agree with the assesment of Pellew as related to H. Hornblower, but Pellew himself also shared some charcteristics with Captain Aubrey of O'Brian's novels, particularly as a lifesaver. Aubrey repeatedly pulls members of his crews from the water, even Dr. Mautrin in one of the novels... any thoughts about adding this to the article, or is this too insignifigant? V.

Fictional Representation
[edit]The reference to "Jack Absolute" should be "Jack Aubrey", the hero of the Patrick O'Brian novels (which include references to Edward Pellew/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnyboy55 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Jack Absolute is a completely different character and Pellew is almost deliberately avoided by Patrick O'Brian, escept in third person anecdotes. Dabbler (talk) 04:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Wars/ Battles: "Second Barbary War"?
[edit]Is it accurate to place Pellew's efforts at Algiers in 1816 as part of the Second Barbary War? The Second Barbary War refers to a conflict between Barbary slavers and the United States, not involving the British Empire.
Would it be better, therefore, to remove the Second Barbary War from Pellew's service list and replace it with a link to the Bombardment of Algiers? F.M. Sir D.H (talk) 14:34, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
