Get in boat that's wrecked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtain

'get' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in boat that's wrecked' is the wordplay.
'that's wrecked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'boat'='inboat'
'inboat' anagrammed gives 'OBTAIN'.

(Other definitions for obtain that I've seen before include "Acquire or procure" , "Hold good" , "Get, procure" , "Get or receive" , "'Get, acquire (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
