McLane–Ocampo Treaty
The McLane–Ocampo Treaty, formally the Treaty of Transit and Commerce, was an 1859 agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico, during Mexico's War of the Reform, when the Veracruz based liberal government of Benito Juárez was fighting against the Mexico City based conservative government. The treaty granted perpetual transit, military and other extraterritorial rights to the United States and its citizens on Mexican soil and was controversial in both Mexico and the United States. For Mexico, it was seen as a betrayal of the country by ceding sovereignty to the United States, which had already defeated Mexico and ceded vast amounts of its territory in the Mexican–American War a decade before, but it promised the financially strapped liberal government the means to continue the war against conservatives. Newspapers in Europe and in the United States expressed astonishment at the magnitude of the concessions that had been made and opined that the treaty wou ...

USRC McLane (1845)
The United States Revenue Cutter ''McLane'' was one of 4 cutters out of 8 total cutters of the ''Legere''–class iron steamers based on a design by U.S. Navy Lieutenant William Hunter. Hunter sought to eliminate the cumbersome and highly exposed side paddle wheels used on many of the steamers on the period by using wheels that were placed horizontally under the ship. Because of inefficiencies, the design used more coal and was subject to more mechanical failures than other designs. Before ''McLane'' was launched the Hunter wheel design was converted to side wheel configuration.Evans, pp 48–50King, pp 118–120 History On 2 January 1845, ''McLane'' was contracted to be built by Cyrus Alger of Boston, Massachusetts, and was launched and ready for sea trials on 29 November.
