Centralist Republic of Mexico
The Texas Navy descended from the Texian Navy, which was established by the Consultation of the Republic of Texas on 25 November 1835 to aid the fight for independence from the Centralist Republic of Mexico in the Texas Revolution. It consisted of four schooners: "Liberty", "Independence", "Invincible", and "Brutus". "Liberty" was sold in June 1836. "Independence" was captured during the Battle of the Brazos River in April 1837. "Invincible" and "Brutus" were run aground at the Battle of Galveston Harbor in August 1837.
