A small fishing boat or coastal trading vessel, particularly one used in Irish or British waters; a variant of droger.
Variant spelling of 'droger,' possibly influenced by Irish 'droghean' or related to the coastal trading practices around Drogheda and other Irish ports.
Droghers became famous in Irish maritime history—they were perfectly sized for the wild Atlantic coast and could survive storms that would sink larger ships. Drogheda's name is literally tied to these boats!
