Boat in good order around new city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gondola

'boat' is the definition.
(I know that gondola is a type of boat)

'good order around new city' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'city' becomes 'LA' (Los Angeles).
'good' anagrammed gives 'godo'.
'godo' going around 'n' is 'gondo'.
'gondo'+'la'='GONDOLA'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for gondola that I've seen before include "Venetian vessel" , "Traditional rowboat of Venice" , "Palmieris' craft" , "Venetian taxi" , "Cabin suspended from an airship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
