Life


Joseph Romain-Desfossés was born in Couesnon, Finistère, on 8 December 1798.
He joined the Cassard at the age of nine, becoming a midshipman second class.
At twelve years of age he joined the gunboat commanded by his father, a naval lieutenant, serving for several years.
He became a sub-lieutenant in September 1819 and lieutenant in December 1828.
He was attached to the staff of Admiral Jean-Baptiste Grivel, maritime prefect at Brest.[1]


Romain-Desfossés was made captain of the corvette la Loire on 10 April 1837.
He made a cruise as captain in the Levant, and accompanied the Prince of Joinville in 1838 in the Bombardment of San Juan de Ulúa.
Confirmed as captain on 31 July 1841 he was commander-in-chief of the Madagascar station from 1844 to 1847.
He concluded an advantageous treaty with the Imam of Muscat and Oman, and made a naval demonstration against Madagascar.
On his return to France, on 27 September 1847 he was appointed Commodore.[1]


Romain-Desfossés was a Major General of the Navy in Brest when he was elected on 13 May 1849 to represent Finistère in the Legislative Assembly.
He was among the majority. On 31 October 1849 he was appointed Minister of the Navy and Colonies by the President Louis Napoleon.
On 9 August 1850 he was made a Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour.
He left the ministry in January 1851 and became commander of the Levant squadron.
He became vice-admiral on 11 June 1853, a member of the admiralty board and chairman of the naval works committee.
On 20 March 1855 he was appointed senator.[1]


In February 1858 Romain-Desfossés received Queen Victoria at Cherbourg.
During the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859 he commanded the squadron of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic.
After this campaign he bombarded Tétouan in Morocco to avenge an insult to the flag.
He was promoted to admiral on 9 July 1860.
