Crossword Genius

Old craft may be long hidden (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden hind

'old craft' is the definition.
(ship captained by Sir Francis Drake)

'may be long hidden' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates an anagram.
'long'+'hidden'='longhidden'
'longhidden' anagrammed gives 'GOLDEN HIND'.

(Another definition for golden hind that I've seen is " Drake's ship".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
