A ship wreck holds nothing for her (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sophia

'her' is the definition.

'a ship wreck holds nothing' is the wordplay.
'wreck' indicates anagramming the letters.
'holds' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'a'+'ship'='aship'
'aship' with letters rearranged gives 'sphia'.
'sphia' placed around 'o' is 'SOPHIA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sophia that I've seen before include "Italian film star" , "-- Loren, Italian actress" , "Girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
