Boat capsized in ocean (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canoe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'boat' is the definition.
(I know that canoe is a more specific form of the action boat)

'capsized in ocean' is the wordplay.
'ocean' can be anagrammed to 'CANOE'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for canoe that I've seen before include "Small boat for paddling" , "Ocean (anag)" , "Small and light boat, pointed at both ends" , "River craft" , "Primitive boat" .)
