20K: "CSS" indicates it's a Confederate ship, so the answer has to be B.

I'd be facing 30K with two lifelines intact.

20K: It was painful to watch contestant remark about "CSS" & how "Shenandoah" was definitely an American name, then leave, & guess wrongly when given "afterguess".

I knew it going in, anyway.

"CSS" and "Shenandoah" immediately led me to the Civil War.

Seems obvious from CSS and Shenandoah, but what in blue blazes was a Confederate ship doing in Aleutian waters? So I looked it up -- what a story! They sailed from Northern Pacific waters when they learned of the Confederate surrender and finally surrendered to the Brits at Liverpool because they didn't want to be hanged as pirates. What a story.
