Droger, Drogher, drō′ger, n. a West Indian coasting vessel, with long masts and lateen sails.

Drogher after drogher left us filled with salvage, while others crowded as near as they dared to receive the bags, cases and bundles, that were constantly being hurled overside.

Our motto in the little drogher yonder is to keep her afloat with the least possible bother to ourselves.

Down East molasses drogher skippers, who, notwithstanding the climate, clothed themselves in their go-ashore long-napped black beaver hats, stiff, coarse broadcloth coats, thick, high bombazine stocks and cowhide boots, landed from their two-oared unpainted yawls, and ascended the stairs with the air of an admiral of the blue.
