Until turning east, this ship had a bell (6)
I believe the answer is:
lutine
'this ship had a bell' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'until turning east' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'east' becomes 'E' (synonyms).
'until' anagrammed gives 'lutin'.
'lutin'+'e'='LUTINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lutine that I've seen is " The bell at Lloyd's".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
