Misdirection - a necessary rhetorical trick for those who know their position is untenable.

[Non-Sequitur]

Misdirections are also known as non sequiturs.

Nonsense is also known as a Wampus SC post. Ships are flagged by country. New Bedford was the home port for many ships, but they weren't flagged there. And since the Wanderer never went to New Bedford then why would it be homeported there? It was built for a southerner, sold to still more southeners, left on it's slave importing voyage from a southern port and returned to a southern port with its illegal cargo destined for southern buyers.
