Ocean wrong for such a vessel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canoe

'such a vessel' is the definition.
(canoe is a kind of vessel)

'ocean wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ocean' with letters rearranged gives 'CANOE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for canoe that I've seen before include "Small boat with paddles" , "Boat one paddles" , "Simple boat" , "Small boat for paddling" , "Primitive boat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
