Londonderry Port is a port at Lisahally in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom’s most westerly port, it has capacity for 30,000-ton vessels and accepts cruise ships.

The current port is on the east bank of the River Foyle at the southern end of Lough Foyle, by the small village of Strathfoyle, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north-east of Derry.

It is operated by the Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners, whose former offices, just north of the city's walls, are now a museum.

The principal industry in Londonderry is the manufacture of shirts, collars, and ladies' underclothing. Considerable quantities go to the United States every year. Still, they are consigned through the local manufacturers' Manchester and Glasgow warehouses, and no trade statistics are available. Female labor constitutes about 90 percent of those engaged in this industry, and the average wage of this class is about $3 per week. (1911)

There is practically no work here for males, the building and allied trades having been almost idle for some years. It is estimated that there are over 1,000 vacant houses in the city.

The Anchor and the Allan steamship lines regularly call at this port. Still, all freight from the United States for this port or that from Londonderry to the United States must first go through the port of Glasgow or Liverpool.

Port of Londonderry

Londonderry is situated on the River Foyle about 18 miles above Moville, the debarkation point for passenger liners. It is a port for freight vessels and can accommodate those drawing up to about 22 feet.

Like Belfast, it has little direct overseas trade, the only regular cargo service from distant points being provided by the Oriole Lines approximately every six weeks from the United States.
