A skirted garment or wrapper meant to be worn at sea. Up from my cabin, My sea - gown scarf'd about me, in the dark Groped I to find out them. Shak ., Hamlet, v. 2. 13. My Guide carried my Sea - gown, which was my covering in the night, and my Pillow was a Log of Wood: but I slept very well, tho the weakne of my body did now require better accommodation.
