sea room

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

'space to manoeuvre' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ship's cabin?' is the wordplay.
'ship's' becomes 'sea' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cabin?' becomes 'room' (cabin is a kind of room).
'sea'+'room'='SEA-ROOM'

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sea room that I've seen before include "required for naval manoeuvres" , "Space to manoeuvre" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
