Do you know anything about the Texas Navy?

I know that Mexico and Texas fought a naval war that lasted essentially throughout the period of Texan independence. Neither side had much of a navy and things seesawed back and forth as first one side and then the other acquired one or two new ships.

If I remember rightly, Texas also attempted to intervene in and support a revolt in the Yucatan or thereabouts with its navy.
