Claude Charles Marie du Campe de Rosamel (June 24, 1774 – March 27, 1848) was a French politician and naval officer. Rosales was born at the Chateau Rosamel à Frencq (Pas-de-Calais) on June 24, 1774. He was commander of the ''Pomone'' in the Action of 29 November 1811 against the British. Rosamel was wounded in action.〔James, William. ''The Naval History of Great Britain.., Volume V'' London: Harding, Lepard, and Co.1826.〕〔(1811 - Alceste and Active with Pauline and consorts )〕 He served as French naval minister from September 6, 1836 until March 31, 1839. During his administration, several national scientific voyages were launched, most notably that of the ''Astrolabe'' to the Magellan Straits and Antarctica. It was during this voyage that an island was named in his honor. It was subsequently renamed Andersson Island. Rosamel sent French troops to Cuba to guard its assets in the Cuba and Mexico in March 1837, precipitating more problems between the governments. France had failed to recognize Mexico's independence. Mexico ultimately declared war against France, in which a naval blockade played a key role.〔Robertson, William Spence. "French Intervention in Mexico in 1838," ''The Hispanic American Historical Review'', Vol. 24, No. 2., May, 1944, pp. 222-252.〕 He was said to have left the Ministry poorer than he entered. He died in Paris on March 27, 1848, leaving his children without an inheritance.〔Jacques-Alain de Sédouy, ''Le comte Molé ou la séduction du pouvoir'', Paris, Perrin, 1994, p. 188.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claude Charles Marie du Campe de Rosamel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
