Abandoned ship (8)
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" .)
