Chatham Saw Mill

Chatham Saw Mill is a historic industrial complex on Chatham Island in Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Established in 1883 during British colonial rule, it is regarded as one of the oldest and largest saw mills in Asia. Still operational under government management, the mill processes timber from the islands' forests. It houses a museum displaying wood varieties, historical exhibits and a World War II bomb crater, making it a notable heritage and educational attraction.

Visitors can expect a working government saw mill with large timber logs, sawing machinery and timber seasoning and processing areas. The site includes a small museum with exhibits on forest wood types, decorative wood crafts, scale models and historical photographs, and an open bomb crater created during World War II bombing. Guided tours explain timber processing, island forestry and colonial industrial history. The complex is located on a small island connected by a bridge, with waterfront views of the harbour.
