Titanic female at sea, as gent is (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

giantess

'titanic female' is the definition.

'at sea as gent is' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'gent'+'is'='asgentis'
'asgentis' with letters rearranged gives 'GIANTESS'.

(Other definitions for giantess that I've seen before include "Very large female" , "Big woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
