Sésostris was a paddle steamer, initially built as a postal steamer for the Near Eastern service of the Messageries Maritimes. In 1852, she became a steam aviso in the French Navy.
Career
From 1853 to 1854, Sésostris cruised off Western Africa under Lieutenant Chastenet.[1]
In 1855, she was re-armed with mortars for the Crimean War, notably taking part in the Battle of Kinburn.[1]
In 1859 and 1860, she performed oceanographic surveys off Newfoundland.[1]
Struck in 1861, she was used as a floating mechanics workshop until 1894. She was eventually broken up in 1896.[1]
Legacy
A model of Sésostris is on display at the Musée national de la Marine in Paris.[2]
