Ah. This appears to be a meaning of the word "small" that I was previously unfamiliar with.

We've spent several sunny hours in the port for their open day. We got to explore a bunkering vessel and a yacht plus had a harbour tour. Loads of exhibits, we won some tote bags, and it was great to see so many people, especially families, enjoying the free event.
