Olbod, have you read the Master Mariner...in 2 books by Monsarrat?
So, I just ordered NM's book, Three Corvettes.
Looks like an interesting read.
Hello again.
I am presently in southern Zimbabwe and fighting a really poor internet connection - so my apologies for taking a while to respond to your request for the title of the book on Sir Edward Pellew.
It is - The Life and Exploits of Britains Greatest Frigate Commander - and the author is Stephen Taylor. You can find a review here:
Commander: The Life and Exploits of Britain's Greatest Frigate Commander by Stephen Taylor
Arguably, if he had died in battle rather than in bed of old age he probably would have been more an icon. Nevertheless, there is a group of islands off the Australian coast called the Sir Edward Pellew Group - named from memory by Matthew Flinders.
Cheers,
