Chatham Island, part of the Andaman Islands in the South Andaman administrative district, is a small yet historically significant island. Located just 3 kilometers north of Port Blair, it is connected to the mainland by a bridge over a stretch of seawater.

The island is known for the Chatham Saw Mill, one of the largest and oldest saw mills in Asia, established by the British in 18832. The island also houses the Forest Museum, which provides insights into the history of timber milling and forest activities in the region.

Chatham Island offers a glimpse into the colonial history of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and is a fascinating spot for history enthusiasts and visitors looking to explore the region's past.
