New Pellew Story

This is from A Social History of the Navy by Michael Lewis, and is for all you fellow Pellew fans. I swear, he just has the best stories ever. :)

Jeremiah Coghlan was a Merchant Service boy who showed extraordinary courage, rescuing fifty men from an East Indiaman. Hearing about the boy's story, Sir Edward Pellew offered him a berth in the Indefatiguable as a Midshipman. Coghlan thrived under Pellew's care, making Lieutenant and eventually Post Captain before his death.

Pellew has his own tag now ?!


God, so in love with him!


these stories are wonderful.


Any chance of him tying into your thesis... or is he a little too straight-laced for the subject matter?


Tell us the secret life of Sir Edward....

With all the Pellew stories, he needed his own tag, and a shiny new icon! So far, nothing too sordid - though did you know his oldest son's middle name is Bastard?

The mysterious ways of Sir Edward!

I just wanted to tell you that I watched some more Horatio this weekend - "Mutiny" and "Retribution" - and it was adorable how fond of Horatio Pellew is. Awwww.

Also, I developed a teensy crush on Lt. Bush. But Matthews is still my favorite.

Another Hornblower fan! Oh, and it's hard not to develop a crush on Lt. Bush - I've had a crush on Paul McGann since he was the Eighth Doctor. But Matthews and Styles really grow on you - around this series I really started liking them more.

And ProudPapa!Pellew is awesome, and I really like learning more about him - and sharing it with everyone else!
