Mines trapping last of ten decrepit river vessels (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
pint pots
'vessels' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'mines trapping last of ten decrepit river' is the wordplay.
'mines' becomes 'pits' (I've seen this before).
'trapping' indicates putting letters inside.
'last of' says to take the final letters.
'river' becomes 'Po' (Italian river).
The final letters of 'ten decrepit' are 'nt'.
'nt'+'po'='ntpo'
'pits' going around 'ntpo' is 'PINT POTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
