Bounty is a big ship (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

largess

'bounty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'big ship' is the wordplay.
'big' becomes 'large' (synonyms).
'ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'large'+'ss'='LARGESS'

'is a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for largess that I've seen before include "Generosity" , "Bounty" .)

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