Save from destruction (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salvage

(Other definitions for salvage that I've seen before include "Rescue of a damaged ship or its cargo" , "Rescued sunken cargo" , "Recovery of wrecks" , "Rescue of property as from fire or flood" , "Preserve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
