  • Jean-Baptiste Philibert Willaumez (7 August 1763 – 17 May 1845) was a French sailor, Navy officer, and admiral of the First French Empire. Willaumez joined the French Navy at the age of 14, and proved a competent sailor. Having risen to the rank of pilot, he started studying navigation, attracting the attention of his superiors up to Louis XVI himself. He became an officer and served under Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux in his expedition to rescue Lapérouse and explore the Indian Ocean and Oceania (including Tasmania, also known as Van Diemen's Land). At the French Revolution, Willaumez rose in rank and served in Saint-Domingue, where he led a brilliant defence of the frigate Poursuivante against the 74-gun HMS Hercule in the action of 28 June 1803. He fought the Haitian Revolution, commanding the station of Saint-Domingue. During the Empire, in 1806, Willaumez commanded a squadron in the Atlantic campaign of 1806. He sailed to the Cape of Good Hope, Brazil and the Caribbean, disrupting British trade and harassing their forces. However, the insubordination of Prince Jérôme Bonaparte, who served as Captain of Vétéran in his squadron, forced him to miss a rich convoy. Later, a hurricane damaged and dispersed his ships, of which three were ultimately lost; the others limped back to France one by one. In May 1808, he attempted to regroup the ships scattered in Brest, Lorient and Rochefort into an eighteen-strong fleet to support the French colonies of the Caribbean; adverse weather and the poor state of the squadron thwarted the plan and he ended being blockaded in Rochefort, leading to the Battle of the Basque Roads, and fell out of favour with Napoléon. After the war, Willaumez served at the Council of Naval Constructions and as Pair de France. He authored a dictionary of naval terms and sponsored a collection of ship models. He also commissioned François Roux to paint portraits of all the ships on which he had served, a collection known as the Album de Willaumez. (en)

  • Jean-Baptiste Philibert Willaumez (Le Palais, 7 agosto 1763 – Suresnes, 17 maggio 1845) è stato un ammiraglio francese. Willaumez entrò nella marina francese a 14 anni e diede prova da subito di essere un marinaio competente. Giunto sino al rango di pilota, iniziò a studiare navigazione attirando l'attenzione dei suoi superiori sino al Luigi XVI in persona. Divenne ufficiale e prestò servizio sotto Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux nella sua spedizione per riprendere Lapérouse ed esplorare l'Oceano Indiano e l'Oceania (tra cui la Tasmania). Allo scoppio della Rivoluzione Francese, Willaumez prestò servizio nella colonia di Saint-Domingue dove condusse una brillante difesa a bordo della fregata Poursuivante contro la Hercule (74 cannoni) inglese nell'Azione del 28 giugno 1803. Combatté nella Rivoluzione haitiana comandando la stazione di Saint-Domingue. Durante il Primo impero francese, nel 1806, Willaumez comandò uno squadrone nella Campagna dell'Atlantico del 1806. Salpò per il Capo di Buona Speranza, Brasile e poi verso i Caraibi, minacciando il commerci britannico con le sue forze. Ad ogni modo, l'insubordinazione del principe Girolamo Bonaparte che prestava servizio come capitano della Vétéran nel suo squadrone, gli fece perdere l'opportunità di un ricco convoglio nell'operazione. Successivamente un uragano danneggiò e disperse le sue navi, tre delle quali andarono irrimediabilmente perdute, mentre le altre tornarono lentamente in Francia. Nel maggio del 1808, tentò di raggruppare le sue navi a Brest, Lorient e Rochefort in una flotta di 18 navi per supportare le colonie francesi nei Caraibi, ma il tempo avverso e le pessime condizioni delle navi mandarono in fumo i suoi piani e finirono per essere bloccate a Rochefort, dove combatté la che segnò la fine del suo favore presso Napoleone. Dopo la guerra, Willaumez prestò servizio come membro del Consiglio di Costruzione Navale e divenne, sotto la restaurazione borbonica, pari di Francia. Fu autore di un dizionario di terminologia navale e sponsorizzò una collezione di modellini in legno di famose navi. (it)
