Standard and prow removed from Darwin’s ship (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
eagle
'standard' is the definition.
(ancient Roman standard or symbol)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "High-flyer" , "Erne, perhaps" , "Hook-billed bird of prey -- old US $10 coin" , "Score of two strokes under par for a golf hole" , "Former US coin" .)
