USS Water Witch (1847)
USS ''Water Witch'' (1847) was a steamer in the service of the United States Navy. She participated in the Mexican-American War which lasted from 1846 to 1848.
The second ''Water Witch'' was a modification of the hull of the first . She entered the Philadelphia Navy Yard late in 1845; had her hull lengthened by some 30 feet; and had all her machinery removed and replaced with a new power plant to drive a Loper propeller. However, that configuration, after some months of experimentation, also proved unsatisfactory and; in 1847, she again traded her propulsion plant for an inclined condensing engine driving conventional side-wheels. She probably was not finally commissioned until 21 August 1847, Lt. George M. Totten in command.
== Serving in Mexican waters during the Mexican-American War ==
The war with Mexico took her to blockade duty in the Gulf of Mexico where she arrived late in October 1847. At Anton Lizardo, Veracruz, she joined the squadron under Commodore Matthew C. Perry. Late in November and early in December, she cruised to reconnoiter the Veracruz ports of Alvarado and Coatzacoalcos, along the coast of Tabasco, and north to the ports of Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, and Cd. Campeche in company with ''Mississippi'' and ''Scorpion''. She served with the blockading forces in the Gulf of Mexico through the end of the U.S.-Mexican War in February 1848.
