Canoe tossed around in Atlantic? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in atlantic?' is the definition.
'ocean' can be an answer for 'atlantic?' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'in' bit.

'canoe tossed' is the wordplay.
'tossed' indicates an anagram.
'canoe' anagrammed gives 'OCEAN'.

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Vast sea" , "Salt water expanse" , "lot of liquid" , "Large stretch of sea" , "Immense expanse or quantity" .)
