outport

A port city or harbor which is secondary to a main port; it may be a distant one or a nearby auxiliary one.

Outport or provincial contacts like those of Cogan, Vassal, Bidgood, or Samuel Cole were exceptions. To a remarkable extent the first exchanges of goods were carried on between London and Boston. In fact, the bulk of the traffic originated in a few streets of the English capital.

Any city, town, or village having a port, other than the main port of St. John's.
