That is why I was thinking that the ship was being dragged someplace and left in some bay and some town near that bay, cove, etc. Would have found the Savannah.

I don't think the resources will be available in the late war to tow a single merchant vessel vast distances to refuel it. In my opinion, the options are either Newport News or move the refueling to an earlier date, at which point Charleston makes as much sense as anywhere else.
