Accommodation for poor sailors? (8)
I believe the answer is:
steerage
'accommodation' is the definition.
(I know that steerage is a type of accommodation)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steerage that I've seen before include "cheap way to travel" , "Course" , "Old word for cheapest passenger accommodation in ship" , "It's the cheapest way to go by sea" , "avoided by the "posh" set" .)
