Chatham Island is one of the islands of the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar. It is a small island of the Archipelago and is popular for the saw mill. The island is a popular tourist destination and is also has a rich historical account as it was significant part of the colonial history of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The island was transformed into a naval base under the supervision of Lt. Archibald Blair, who deported convicts to this island for construction work. A 100-meter bridge made of timber, connecting Port Blair and Chatham Island, was built during this era and later it was renovated using concrete structures and this as well attracts the tourists to the island.
