It had been raiding Yankee whalers in the Pacific around the Bering Strait. Surrendered to the British? The CSS Alabama went down before the USS Kearsage off Cherbourg, France, in 1864, I think. This is all off the top of my head so I will stand to being corrected

The CSS Shenandoah did not discover until August that for all intents, the Confederacy no longer existed. From that point until it steamed into Liverpool on November 5th, it did not fly the National Colors of the Confederacy. BTW, the colors of the Shenandoah is on display in the last exhibit case in the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.
