Crossword Genius

Where junk might be lost (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

at sea

I believe this is a double definition.

'where junk might be' is the first definition.
(junk is a type of ship)

'lost' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for at sea that I've seen before include "Confused (in the main?)" , "on board" , "Worse things can happen here" , "Lost or confused - on the briny?" , "disorientated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
