Type of vessel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whaler

'type of vessel' is the definition.
(I know that whaler is a type of ship)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for whaler that I've seen before include "Captain Ahab, e.g." , "Ship armed with harpoons" , "Mammal-hunting boat" , "Aussie tramp?" , "Seaman like Ahab" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
