Ship's spine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keel

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">ship's spine</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for keel that I've seen before include "Beam on the hull of a vessel" , "Part of ship's hull" , "Support on which ship is built" , "Longitudinal structure supporting the frame of a vessel" , "Fore-and-aft base to a ship's hull" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times and the Universal.
