Tie up to wharf (4)

I believe the answer is:

moor

(Other definitions for moor that I've seen before include "Open land - secure a boat - North African" , "eg Ilkley, Othello" , "Tract of uncultivated upland" , "Someone like Othello" , "Open land covered with heather and bracken" .)

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