Ship of the desert (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camel

'ship of the desert' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for camel that I've seen before include "quadruped" , "Bearer of burdens" , "Pale brown - animal" , "Light yellowish-brown colour - ruminant" , "Beastly type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Daily Mail and the Evening Standard.
