High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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.

She probably was not finally commissioned until...

She received a privateer's warrant from the United States government in July 1812 when she put to sea for a privateering foray into the West Indies.

While putting a prize crew on board the last of the three, the schooner Dawson, the British 22-gun Sixth Rate Post-ship HMS Garland surprised Wasp. Both captor and prize hoisted full sail and got underway. Because Garland chose to chase Wasp, the prize crew...
