Chatham Saw Mill Sightseeing Detail

Chatham Saw Mill sits on Chatham Island in Port Blair, and it’s a real slice of history. Built back in the 1880s under the British, this place powered a lot of Andaman’s growth by turning logs into timber for decades. When you visit, you actually walk through the working mill, watch giant logs getting cut up, and see old machines that have been chugging along for over a hundred years.

There’s a museum here too—old tools, black-and-white photos, wooden artifacts, and stories about how the mill survived wartime bombings. You get a real sense of how much this place shaped the islands. NewWay Andaman Tours and Travels adds the saw mill to their Port Blair trips, so if you like history or just want to see something different, it’s worth a stop. You see tradition and craftsmanship all in one spot.
