Transfer gold on a foreign boat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gondola

'foreign boat' is the definition.
(canal boat of Venice)

'transfer gold on a' is the wordplay.
'transfer' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'gold'+'on'='goldon'
'goldon' anagrammed gives 'gondol'.
'gondol'+'a'='GONDOLA'

(Other definitions for gondola that I've seen before include "Venetian boat - airship cabin" , "Compartment suspended from an airship" , "mountain climber" , "Venetian taxi" , "Craft for Venetian canals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
