support cask on ship - 8 letters, buttress fits in but can't see connection with cask and ship
cask = BUTT
on = RE
ship = SS

cut up explosive device and take a close look 7 letters, - - a - i - e
cut = axe, up so EXA
explosive device = MINE

butt = a wine cask
ship = SS
just the 're' left - no idea!


first 3 letters = to cut, backwards
last 4 letters = explosive device

take a close look is the definition

Sorry, post crossed with bullfrog.

thanks to both of you, all complete now.
