A ship, eg, circles different parts of our canals (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oesophagi

'parts of our canals' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for oesophagi that I've seen before include "parts of canals" , "inner tubes" , "pipes" , "What act as channels" , "Crops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
