Vessels for turbulent oceans? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canoes

'vessels' is the definition.
(canoe is a kind of vessel)

'turbulent oceans?' is the wordplay.
'turbulent' indicates anagramming the letters.
'oceans' is an anagram of 'CANOES'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for canoes that I've seen before include "Craft" , "Small boats found in strange oceans" , "Simple boats" , "Small light boats" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
