Notes
[Definition] The term port, as used here, is intended to convey the characteristic of the location. Silvab (1813, p. 475) defines a port as a "suitable place on the edge of the sea or river that provides passage to land and can receive ships and shelter them from storms." Thus, for the present port, there is no requirement for the presence of port structures such as a pier, quay, or wharf. [Fonte da definição] SILVA, António de Morais.
