Abandoned ship (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

derelict

This clue is a double definition.

'abandoned' is the first definition.
(I know that abandoned can be written as derelict)

'ship' is the second definition.
(derelict is a kind of ship)

(Other definitions for derelict that I've seen before include "An abandoned ship" , "Remiss" , "Of building, deserted and left to fall into ruin" , "Unsafe through neglect" , "Deserted and neglected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
