From www.answers.com:
"A railed, rooftop platform typically on a coastal house, originally designed to observe vessels at sea."
The reference is often to women who kept watching for their husbands to return from a sea voyage ... but never did. In olden days (no radios or satellites), if a ship was lost, it was simply lost. No news.
