The Ingham Incident, or the Montezuma Affair was a naval battle fought in 1835, and the first between Mexico and the United States. Due to the outbreak of the Texas Revolution, the Mexican government sent the warship Montezuma to protect against the smuggling of contraband into the war zone. Montezuma siezed two American vessels which led to a response by the Revenue Service cutter USRC Ingham.[1]
