British Naval Biographical Dictionary 1849
CAMMILLERI (Commander, 1829. F-P., 20; H-P., 21.)
Joseph Cammilleri, born 18 Aug 1794, is sole surviving son of the late
Signor Gabriel Cammilleri, who rendered such conspicuous assistance to the
British under Capt. Alex. John Ball during the blockade of Malta in 1798,
and suffered the consequent sacrifice to republican resentment of a large
portion of his property. Commander Cammilleri is the only Maltese in the
Service.
This officer entered the Navy, 13 Nov 1806, as Third-cl. Boy, under the
auspices of Sir A. J. Ball, on board the SPIDER brig, Lieut.-Commander
Wm. Sandford Oliver, in which he was present at the passage of the
Dardanells in Feb 1807. He next joing the ACTIVE, of 46 guns, Capts.
Rich. Hussey Moubray and Jas. Alex. Gordon, also in the Mediterranean;
became Midshipman, 7 May 1809, of the ST DOMINGO 74, bearing the flag of
Sir Rich. John Strachan, in which ship he received a severe contusion in
the head while assisting at the bombardment of Flushing in Aug. following;
and, after an attachment of a few months to the VILLE DE PARIS 110,
flag-ship of Lord Collingwood, again served with Capt. J. A. Gordon, from
June 1810 to Feb. 1815, in the ACTIVE and SEAHORSE frigates. While
belonging to the ACTIVE he at various times, in command of her barge,
captured, cut out, and destroyed 44 vessels, frequently under a
destructive fire; and, on 13 March 1811, he was present in the memorable
action off Lissa, when a British squadron, carrying in the whole 156 guns
and 879 men, completely routed, after a conflict of six hourse, and a loss
the the ACTIVE of 4 men killed and 24 wounded, a Franco-Venetian armament,
whose force amounted to 284 guns and 2655 men. After the battle he mainly
contributed by his exertions to the preservation of one of the
prize-frigates, which had taken fire. When next attacking in the boats,
27 July 1811, a convoy of 28 merchantmen, defended, in a creek of the
island of Ragosniza, by 300 troops and 3 gun-vessels, Mr Cammilleri
personally boarded and carried one of the latter, and much to his praise;
[viz Gaz. 1811, p2193] and on being invested, as a reward for his
officially reported gallantry, with the command of his prize, he took,
after a stout resistance, five of a convoy in escort of three gun-boats,
and, on a later occasion, four other vessels. On 29 Nov. in the same year
he further shared in a hard-fought action of an hour and forty minutes,
which, in rendering the ACTIVE captor of La Pomone, of 44 guns and
332 men, 50 of whom were killed and wounded, cost that ship a loss of 8
killed and 27 wounded, including Capt. Gordon, who lost a leg. During his
servitude in the SEAHORSE, Mr Cammilleri was present, in Aug. 1814, at the
capture of Fort Washington and the capitulation of Alexandria; and, on the
descent of the Potomac, we find him twice despatched in charge of the
ship's cutter, for the purpose of protecting the grounded DEVASTATION
from the attacks of Commodore Rodgers, one of whose fire-vessels he
succeeded in drawing off. He also served on shore with the small-arm men
in the expedition against Baltimore, and, on the night the army retreated,
commanded the launch in an attack on the enemy's gun-boats and batteries.
On 14 Dec. following Mr Cammilleri served with the boats of the SEAHORSE
and of a squadron, at the capture, on Lake Borgne, of five American
gun-boats under Commodore Jones, which did not surrender until the
British, after a severe conflict, had been occasioned a loss of 17 men
killed and 77 wounded. During the ensuing attack upon New Orleans he was
again very responsibly employed on numerous detached services. On 25 Feb.
1815, Mr Cammilleri, who had passed his examination 3 April, 1813, was
advanced to the rank of Lieutenant; after which he appears to have been
successively appointed - 20 Oct 1819, to the DOVER 28, bearing the flags
on the Leith station of Sir Robt. Waller Otway and Sir John Poo Beresford,
pending his attachment to which ship we find him cruizing, in command of
her tender, the NIMBLE cutter, for the suppression of smuggling in the
Firth of Forth - 24 Sep 1823, to the MENAI 26, Capt. Houston Stewart,
fitting out at Portsmouth - 12 Dec 1823, to the ALBION 74, guard-ship at
the latter port, Capt. Sir Wm. Hoste - 5 May 1824 to the AETNA bomb, Capt.
Williams Sandom, whom he accompanied, as a volunteer, in the expedition
against Algiers - 5 March 1825, to the HYPERION 42, Capt. Wm. Jas. MINGAYE
employed in the Coast Blockade - and 24 Dec 1825, for a short time, to
the PRINCE REGENT 120, flag-ship at the Nore of Sir Robt. Moorsom. He was
promoted to his present rank, for his services while in command of the
CALYPSO Malta Colonial yacht, 1 Jan 1829, and was afterwards employed as
an Inspecting-Commander in the Coast Guard from 14 Jul 1837 until July
1840, and again from 8 Feb 1841 until May 1844. He has since been on
half-pay.
Commander Cammilleri, who is Senior of 1829, married Mary, daughter of
Thos. Freak, Esq., of Blackheath, co. Kent, and has issue six children.

The Times 20 Nov 1876 p10 Disasters At Sea
On Saturday morning a telegram was received at Lloyd's that the fine
new screw steamship Genoa, valued at about £52,000, with a cargo of maize
worth some £20,000 more, had foundered, it is believed, in the Bay of
Biscay. The telegram stated that the Italian brig Zio had brought into
Gibraltar a part of the crew of the Genoa, and that the captain of the
Genoa, with the first and third officers, boatswain, and one fireman had
been drowned. The articles of agreement between the owners and crew of the
steamer show that in the first instance the crew numbered 33 persons. Of
these, two were recorded at Cardiff as "not joined", one as "deserted";
the steward as "discharged"; and the engineer's steward as "promoted to
steward". A vacant place is left for the name of the third officer, who
does not appear to have been appointed before the steamer started on her
voyage. It is therefore impossible from the telegram, and the articles
taken together, to give the names of the third officer and of the fireman
who have lost their lives. Those on board were Captain John Corigall, 52,
Stromness; James D. Barton, 39, Lincolnshire, mate; John Champli, Truro,
boatswain. The remainder of the crew, who signed the articles on the 9th of
September, and have been landed at Gibraltar, were Magnus White, 35,
Lerwick, second mate; John Inglis, Aberdeen, carpenter; John Martin, Tobago,
steward; John Francis, Barbadoes, cook; Thomas Hart, Essex, lamp-trimmer;
William Call, Essex, A.B.; Lewis Sheldrew, Wisconsin, A.B.; William Smith,
London, A.B.; H. F. Aubrey, London, A.B.; Thomas Nowlan, St John's, A.B.;
H. Anderson, London, A.B.; William Reid, Montrose, A.B.; Thomas Scott,
Panmuir, engineer; John A. Argo, Kent, second engineer; John Stokes, North
Shields, third engineer; C. C. Dale, North Shields, fourth engineer; Thomas
Lowe, London, donkeyman and fireman; John Simmons, Kent, fireman; Francis
Carr, London, fireman; Charles Stacey, Middlesbrough, fireman; William
Palmen (?Palmer), Norfolk, fireman; William Shaw, London, fireman; Henry
Brown, London, trimmer; William Lane, London, trimmer; John Stafford,
North Shields, engineers' steward; Frederick Camilleri, Malta, A.B.;
Vincent Cotier, Malta, A.B.; Henry Hall, Merthyr, engineers' steward. Those
recorded as "not joined" are Thomas Hart and H. F. Aubrey; deserted,
William Smith; and discharged, J. Martin. It appears from the above list
that of the original crew eight, and of those who proceeded to sea seven
were foreigners, or, at least, not natives of Great Britain. The Genoa was
a handsome iron screw steamer of 180 nominal horse power, 1,873 tons gross,
1,216 tons net, 299ft. long, and 34ft. wide. She was launched, we believe,
in August, 1875, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where she had been built by Messrs
Mitchell and Co. Her owners are Messrs Nelson, Donkin and Co., of Newcastle
-on-Tyne, and, according to the ships's articles of agreement, the managing
owner is Mr R. S. Duncan, of Newcastle. She was surveyed in November, 1875,
and classed 100 A 1 at Lloyd's. Insurances upon her were effected in the
Northern Insurance Clubs. She left England on the outward voyage on the
12th of September for Port Said; from Port Said she proceeded to Sulina,
and commenced the return voyage with £20,000-worth of maize for orders;
she reached Malta on the 30th, and sailed again the same day for Cork. In
the stormy weather which she must have subsequently experienced her cargo
probably shifted, although built, as we believe she was for the grain
trade, and, therefore, no doubt, provided with dry shifting boards,
thoroughly well stanchioned to prevent them from working out of their
places, and four bulkheads (which she is known to have had); the ship it
is believed acquired a strong list to port or starboard, and was thus
thrown off her balance and probably capsized. Her official number is
73,583.

A Great Coxcomb... by Patrick Marione p6 - Malta under the French rule
http://www.ageofnelson.org/pdf/Ball.pdf
An important export from the overpopulated islands was men. Maltese people
enrolled in the French armies and fleets as well as in the British ones.
Joseph Cammilleri was the only officer of the period ever to win his
epaulette whilst being born a foreigner. He was the son of Signor Gabriel
Cammilleri, a Maltese who assisted Captain Alexander John Ball during the
blockade.
Joseph entered the Navy in 1806, was promoted Lieutenant on 25 Feb 1815,
Commander on 1 Jan 1829. He married an Englishwoman and died in England,
aged 66, a Retired Captain on 17 Sep 1860.
