Texan schooner Liberty
The Texas schooner ''Liberty'' was one of the four schooners of the First Texas Navy (1836–1838). She served in the Texas Navy for only about 6 months, capturing the Mexican brig ''Pelicano'' loaded with weapons for their army in Texas. Later that year, she sailed to New Orleans accompanying the wounded Sam Houston, where she was repaired. Texas was unable to pay for the repairs and the ship was sold in June, 1836, to pay for the cost of the repairs. This left the Texas Navy with only three ships.
==History of the schooner before the Texas Navy==
She was previously the privately owned ship ''William Robbins'' which was purchased in November 1835, by the rebellious citizens of Matagorda when the Texas-bound schooner ''Hannah Elizabeth'' was captured by the Mexican Navy brig ''Bravo''. ''Hannah Elizabeth'' was laden with weapons and ammunition for the Texas Revolution and she was seized and run aground at Pass Cavallo, throwing her cannons overboard during the chase. Days later the ''Williams Robbins'' was placed under the command of Captain William A. Hurd who captured the Mexican Man-of-war ''Correo de Mejico'' and recaptured the ''Hannah Elizabeth'' from the Mexican prize crew and took both ships to Galveston.〔(Texas State Library Archives )〕 These actions were controversial in some quarters because they were done before the ''William Robbins'' was granted a letter of marque from the fledgling Texas government.〔(Son of the South website )〕
The ''William Robbins'' was purchased by the Texas government in Galveston on January 5, 1836, for the sum of $3,500 and was christened the ''Liberty''. She was thus the first ship of the Texas Navy.〔("Liberty" ''Handbook of Texas Online''. Texas State Historical Association )〕
