There's a whole North American, New York, Rev War connection that could be spirited into something in regards to Pellew, and the reason why Archie ends up on the Indefatigable.
Pellew was in the Royal Navy during the Rev War and served in that theater of operations. The Kennedy family home in New York City was used as the British HQ in New York. There is also some family connection with the Duke of Clarence (later William IV) who was in the Navy in the Rev War as well.
It's confusing to me with all those damn ARCHIBALDS but the Rev War connection is here.
