Texan schooner Independence

The Texan schooner ''Independence'' was one of the four schooners of the First Texas Navy (1836–1838). In 1836, Charles Hawkins, a veteran of the United States and Mexican navies, visited Texas Governor Henry Smith, seeking a commission in the new Texas Navy. Smith was impressed with his credentials and sent him to New Orleans, where he was given the task of acquiring the United States revenue cutter ''Ingham'' for the Texas Navy, which he did in early January 1836, for $1,710.
After the Texas victory at the Battle of San Jacinto in April, 1836, ''Independence'' carried the Texas President and his captive, General Santa Anna, to Velasco, where the Treaty of Velasco was negotiated and signed.
While being refitted in New Orleans in early 1837, her skipper died and a new captain was appointed. When next she sailed in April 1837, ''Independence'' was attacked and surrendered to a superior Mexican force and her officers and passengers were imprisoned. The ship was later commissioned in the Mexican Navy where she served against her former masters.
==Service during the Texas Revolution==
From January until March, 1836, before Texas formally declared her independence from Mexico, Commodore Charles Hawkins cruised the Coahuila y Tejas coast between Galveston and Tampico, destroying "a considerable number of small craft, with all material on board that could be used to the injury of Texas."〔 By 12 March, the ''Independence'' returned to New Orleans for refitting, but she quickly returned to Matagorda to block supplies to the Mexican Army. However, with the retreat of Sam Houston's army after the Texans' defeats at the siege of the Battle of the Alamo and Battle of Goliad, Hawkins was forced to move his ship up the Texas coast from Matagorda to Galveston. With the rebel government in disarray during the Runaway Scrape, ''Independence''s mission was to defend Galveston from invasion and block resupply of Santa Anna's nearby army.〔
