It was based on gondowe's input. If we accept that Ulmos first intent was to lead the Gondolindrim out of Gondolin than for me that means together with the promise of Ulmo that the Valar would send help for the battle against Morgoth, that the starting point for such a battle cold only be near the sea. And in which other place than the havens of Sirion would Turgon find a safe place for his people in that time?
