John Steinbeck described Texas as a "state of mind". That state of mind has its origin in our unique, colorful, and inspiring history. Most of us recognize place names like Goliad, Alamo and San Jacinto as well as iconic names like Bowie, Crockett, and Travis. Few however know the heroic saga of the Texas Navy's service to our fledgling republic from 1836-1845. The mission of the Texas Navy Association is to present the history of the Texas Navy to Texans and non-Texans alike. We trust you will be enlightened by our efforts herein. Let us know what you think, and Welcome Aboard!
