Drifting on a shark boat with passengers from every other across answer (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
noahs ark
'boat with passengers from every other across answer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'drifting on a shark' is the wordplay.
'drifting' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'a'+'shark'='onashark'
'onashark' with letters rearranged gives 'NOAHS ARK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noahs ark that I've seen before include "animal transport" , "Biblical ship" , "Transport ship" , "Great biblical boat" , "Old vessel" .)
