Ship sealer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Road-dressing for a sailor?" , "Road surfacing or old sailor" , "Tobacco residue; sailor" , "Cigarette residue - old word for sailor" , "Sticky black stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
