Crossword Genius

Vessel shows ability (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

craft

I believe this is a double definition.

'vessel' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'ability' is the second definition.
(I know that craft is a type of accomplishment)

'shows' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for craft that I've seen before include "packet!" , "Occupation in which skill is needed" , "Skill, cunning" , "Vessel for a skilled occupation" , "It requires special skill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
