AI overview
A port is a maritime facility with wharves or loading areas where ships load and unload cargo and passengers, typically located on coastlines or estuaries but sometimes found inland along rivers and canals. Ports matter because they serve as crucial gateways for trade, immigration, and military operations, making port cities historically significant centers of activity and change.
