Chatham Saw Mill

Established in 1836, one of Asia’s largest saw mills was set up by the Britishers on Chatham Island. The mill is still functional even to this day. This is a good pit-stop for those who’re interested in learning a little about the history and economy of the Andamans. It’s a relatively off-beat experience, but worth your while—you’ll get to see weathered machinery still trudging along. A fort museum close by is avoidable, but look out for the crater in the vicinity—which was formed when the Japanese dropped a bomb during World War II.
