Inducement to serve in unhappy ship (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bounty

This clue is a double definition.

'inducement to serve' is the first definition.

'unhappy ship' is the second definition.
(site of a 1789 mutiny)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for bounty that I've seen before include "William Bligh's ship" , "One pursuing fugitives for a reward" , "blood money" , "Christian took responsibility for this" , "naval ship . . ." .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
