Simple craft rescued from collapse (6)
I believe the answer is:
dugout
'simple craft' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dugout that I've seen before include "Type of canoe" , "Bunker (for the football manager?)" , "Military shelter" , "Trench shelter - canoe made from log" , "Simple craft" .)
