CAPITAL OF ANDAMAN ISLANDS, Port Blair was named after the East India Companies' Lt. Archibald Blair
who occupied the Andamans in 1789 to keep his ships safe and protected in the rains as a safe harbour and as a
penal settlement for prisoners. But, because of the unhygienic climate and outbreak of diseases and the
expenses in maintaining the harbour, he had to abandon the Andamans in 1796. Early in the first decade of the
19th century the roots of the East India Company were firmly entrenched in India. The British were subjecting
Indians to a lot of abject atrocities, snatching away land from peasants, destroying the livelihood of craftsmen,
increasing taxes, usurping the states from the Nawabs and native kings. Ordinary people, soldiers, nawabs and
kings were all being terrified and harassed. Generally everywhere there was resentment and revolt. People were
determined to do away with the East India Company.

A Mute Witness Of The Indian Freedom Struggle Viper Island witnessed the untold sufferings the freedom
fighters had to undergo. Dangerous convicts found guilty of violating the rules of the penal settlement, were put
in chains and were forced to work with their chains on in this island. Freedom fighters like Nanigopal and
Nandlal Pulindas, who had resorted to hunger strike at the Cellular Jail, were imprisoned at Viper Island. Sher
Ali, the Pathan, guilty of murdering Lord Mayo, was condemned to death and hanged in gallows at the Viper
Island. Now the ruins of jails and gallows can be seen on the island.
Boat timings: - 3:00 PM from Aberdeen Jetty.

ROSS ISLAND In November 1857, the Government decided to establish a penal settlement in Andaman and
send "hard-core elements" among those who took on the British. The main reasons were to keep them away
from other prisoners and the other is to send a message to others revolutionaries that similar treatment will be
given to them also who dare to challenge the British rule. 
After two months, the British took possession of three islands in and around Port Blair and Captain H. Man,
Executive Engineer, hoisted the Union Jack flag. In March, J.P. Walker, an experienced jail superintendent,
arrived in Port Blair with four European officials, an Indian overseer, two doctors, 50 naval guards and 773
freedom fighters.

According to Writer Gauri Shankar, there was water scarcity has motivated Walker to go out of Port Blair and
settle at Ross Island. Named after the marine surveyor Sir Daniel Ross, the Island soon became the base.
Initially, crude barracks of bamboo and grass were put up for freedom fighters while the rest of the party stayed
on board the ships that had brought them. Later, the freedom fighters built houses, offices, barracks and other
structures at the Ross Island, after which they were promptly sent to Viper Island, where the first jail was built.
The bungalow, meant for the chief of the Penal Settlement, was constructed at the northern summit of the
Island. Called Government House, the large-gabled home had Italian tiled flooring on the ground level. Now,
some remains of the flooring are there, of course in a decrepit condition.

Ross Islands was the seat of British Administration. It is situated North of Port Blair just across a narrow stretch
of sea. This island with an area of about 200 acres was a small world in itself with chief commissioner’s
residence. The place came into decay with the shifting of the Chief Commissioner's Office in 1942 as areas close
to the shore had developed serious cracks and it was felt that the building was not safe. The Japanese occupied
the Island in March 1942. In October 1945 the Islands were reoccupied by the British. Today the Island is
deserted.
