On April 3rd, 1836, the most consequential naval battle between the Texians and Mexicans occurred in the Gulf of America. Texians had to date been ineffectual in stopping Mexican supply lines, and it was critical to stop them as Houston drew Santa Anna further east. The Texas ship “The Invincible” - was anything but - pummeled the Mexican “Montezuma” after The Invincible maneuvered to run the Montezuma ashore before unleashing hell on the ship. Later the same day, the Invincible intercepted and American ship supplying Mexicans with weapons. These weapons were critical once rerouted to Houston’s army.
