The Battle of Matamoros〔http://www.texasnavy.com/quiz1.htm〕 was a naval engagement during the Texas Revolution on April 3, 1836, between the brig ''Montezuma'' of the Mexican Navy and the schooner ''Invincible'' of the Texas Navy. The Mexican ship was outmaneuvered and repeatedly hit before running aground and being abandoned. The Port of Matamoros, also known as Los Brazos de Santiago, was the Mexican army's primary resupply base for the operations of General Santa Anna, who was finally defeated on April 21, 1836, outside Houston at the battle of San Jacinto. ==Background== The ''Invincible'' was purchased by the Texan government, then in rebellion, because the Texans were disturbed by the appearance of Mexican naval raiders along the Gulf Coast. Captain Jeremiah Brown was given command of the ''Invincible'' on March 12, 1836, in Galveston. Captain Brown was tasked with defending the Texas coast, and neutralizing the Mexican man-of-war ''Montezuma''. The ''Invincible'' cruised south to the mouth of the Rio Grande, where on April 3, 1836, she encountered the ten-gun Mexican brig in the Port of Matamoros (also known as Brazos Santiago, now Boca Chica) at the mouth of the Laguna Madre.
