Aimless type all at sea? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drifter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sea?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'aimless type all' is the wordplay.
'aimless' becomes 'drift' (I've seen this before).
'type all' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drift'+'er'='DRIFTER'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drifter that I've seen before include "Fishing boat; hobo" , "tramp, perhaps" , "Fishing boat; nomad" , "Vagabond" , "One who moves about aimlessly" .)
