Heating units from the Titanic ? (6)
I believe the answer is:
therms
'heating units' is the definition.
'the titanic ?' is the wordplay.
'titanic ?' becomes 'rms' (Titanic is an example).
'the'+'rms'='THERMS'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for therms that I've seen before include "Units of heat used in measuring gas supply" , "Units of gas supplied" , "Old baths" .)
