Keel? There's a keel Canal and a traditional lyric, The Keel Row

ignore that^ Google says Kiel Canal.

Sandy - think it is the KIEL canal. That's why the OP is asking which way the clue works.

Danny K13 - I knew Keel was poetic for ship - just did not know whether the setter was looking for that or for the Kiel Canal - thanks anyway for your input

dannyk13

Very ambiguous clue but I think Kiel(canal)is correct as sounding refers to Keel (poetic ship)
