Craft surface as a tribute to Garland? (9)

I believe the answer is:

afterdeck

'craft surface' is the definition.
(surface on a ship or craft)

'as a tribute to garland?' is the wordplay.
'as a tribute to' becomes 'after' (as in a piece of work 'after' another artist).
'garland?' becomes 'deck' (both can mean to decorate or hang with things).
'after'+'deck'='AFTERDECK'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
