The frigate captain who became a legend. โ๐๏ธ This distinguished bust captures Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth โ one of the most daring and celebrated naval commanders of the Napoleonic Wars. As captain of the frigate HMS Indefatigable, he became a household name through his daring exploits, including the dramatic rescue of shipwrecked sailors and his famous duel with the French frigate Droits de l'Homme. Later, he led the successful bombardment of Algiers (1816) to end Christian slavery. Perfect for home offices, studies, naval history collections, and lovers of the Age of Sail.
