[Bubba Ho-Tep]

When the “Powhatan” sailed to Charlestown it was disguised as a merchant ship flying the flag of Great Britain with the ships name painted out.

Except the "Powhatan" didn't sail to Charleston.

[PeaRidge]

The Powhatan left the docks with orders to sail to Charleston.

But I see that you do not dispute the fact that it was an armed vessel that reached a Southern port with orders to land war materiel by force, if necessary.

And I see you do not dispute the fact that the name was painted out and that it was disguised as British shipping.

Not dealing with the important facts, there, sir.
