A Roman's managed to transport ability to row (11)

I believe the answer is:

oarsmanship

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ability to row' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a roman's managed to transport' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to transport' becomes 'ship' (synonyms).
'a'+'romans'='aromans'
'aromans' with letters rearranged gives 'oarsman'.
'oarsman'+'ship'='OARSMANSHIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oarsmanship that I've seen before include "Rowing skill" , "crafty skill" , "Rowers provide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
