Kidnap for enforced service at sea (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shanghai

(Other definitions for shanghai that I've seen before include "Trick (someone) into becoming a sailor" , "in a combination of single, double and treble" , "Largest city in China" , "Exhibit haircut on sailor's head in" , "Press-gang" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
