- 1780, William Falconer, Dictionary of the Marine, page 411:
  DEAD-LIGHTS, certain wooden ports which are made to fasten into the cabin-windows, to prevent the waves from gushing into a ship in a high sea. As they are made exactly to fit the windows, and are strong enough to resist the waves, they are always fixed in, on the approach of a storm, and the glass frames taken out, which might otherwise be shattered to pieces by the surges, and suffer great quantities of water to enter the vessel.
- 1850, Lydia Sigourney, The Happy Mariner from Poems for the Sea, page 100:
  Even, if our sails like ribbons fly, / And the dead-lights long are in, / Hard up the helm! and keep good heart! / Till skies are bright again.
