Roman god who was enthroned on a vessel (6)

I believe the answer is:

saturn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'roman god who' is the definition.
'Saturn' can be an answer for 'roman god' (Saturn is an example). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'enthroned on a vessel' is the wordplay.
'enthroned on' becomes 'sat' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a vessel' becomes 'urn' (urn is a type of container).
'sat'+'urn'='SATURN'

'was' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saturn that I've seen before include "One of the 1 across" , "Planet with concentric rings" , "Sixth planet from the sun" , "deity" , "Giant planet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
