ROADER
ROADER, a vessel riding at anchor in a road, bay, or river. If a vessel under sail strikes against any roader, and damages her in passing, the former is obliged by. law to make good the damages sustained by the latter.The roaders attentively observe to anchor, or moor, at a competent distance from each other; and that those which arrive last shall not moor in the track of the shipping which anchored before, so as to intercept their passage when they are ready to depart.
