Take sodium by ship with what's on all sides to Caribbean capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
nassau
'caribbean capital' is the definition.
(capital of The Bahamas)
'take sodium by ship with what's on all sides' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'sodium' could be 'na' (chemical symbol) and 'na' is found in the answer.
'ship' could be 'ss' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain) and 'ss' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nassau that I've seen before include "Saunas (anag)" , "city" , "Bahamian capital" , "Port of the Bahamas" , "Caribbean resort" .)
