HistoryIn 1755, the government of Denmark formally claimed sovereignty over Nicobars, under the name of Frederiksøerne[ (Frederik Islands) and encouraged a mission established by the Moravian Brethren of Herrnhut. Along with Kamorta Island, which lies just to the north, Nancowry Island forms the "magnificent land-locked" Nancowry Harbour,[3] used by European sailors since at least the 17th century and described as "one of the safest natural harbours in the world" ( ). The harbour was apparently used as a base for piracy; in 1868, the British Navy entered the harbour in some force, destroying suspected pirate ships.[4][5][6] 2004 tsunamiThe island, like many others in the Nicobar and Andaman islands, was severely affected by tsunamis generated by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. According to reports from the Andaman and Nicobar Inspector General of Police, S.B. Deol, the Nancowry group of islands were among the worst-hit islands in the chain, with thousands missing and presumed dead.[7] Post-tsunami satellite photos,[8][9] and government situation reports indicate that while portions of Nancowry Island were affected, the adjoining islands of Katchall and Kamorta were more severely overrun. As of January 18, 2005, the government reported only 1 dead and 3 missing from Nancowry island, but 51 dead and 387 missing from Kamorta, and 345 dead and 4310 missing from Katchall.[10] DemographyAs of the 2011 Indian census, there are 1019 persons living on Nancowry island.[11] GeographyNancowry Island has an area of 47 km², and located 160 km south-southeast of Car Nicobar, the northernmost Nicobar island. Nancowry, like the Nicobar islands generally, is under the sovereignty of the nation of India. It is also part of the Nicobar and Andaman Tribal Reserve Area, which bars non-native people from visiting or conducting business on the island without permission in hopes of preserving the threatened native communities that live there.[12] AdministrationThe island belongs to the township of Nancowry of Nancowry tehsil.[13] Image galleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=http://andssw1.and.nic.in/ecostat/basicstatPDF2013_14/1.Demogrpahy.pdf|title=Islandwise Area and Population – 2011 Census|publisher=Government of Andaman}} {{Portal|India}}2. ^Registration Plate Numbers added to ISO Code 3. ^info 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-sundaymagazine/the-pirates-of-nicobar/article22390181.ece|title=The pirates of Nicobar|last=Saini|first=Ajay|date=7 January 2018|work=The Hindu|access-date=19 October 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite web |url=http://sherlock-holmes.org.uk/News/Articles/Frederick_C_Dobbs/Three_minute_problem.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2004-12-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040610043642/http://sherlock-holmes.org.uk/News/Articles/Frederick_C_Dobbs/Three_minute_problem.htm |archive-date=2004-06-10 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 6. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20130520233351/http://www.indiatravelnext.com/islands-of-andaman/nancowry-island-in-andaman-and-nicobar.html] 7. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=269568 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2004-12-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311125518/http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?id=269568 |archive-date=2007-03-11 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 8. ^ 9. ^ {{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ndmindia.nic.in/Tsunami2004/sitrep35.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2005-01-26 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050126032340/http://www.ndmindia.nic.in/Tsunami2004/sitrep35.htm |archivedate=2005-01-26 |df= }} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://police.and.nic.in/nancowry.htm |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2004-12-30 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20041217125643/http://police.and.nic.in/nancowry.htm |archivedate=2004-12-17 |df= }} 12. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.andamanvision.com/legal_form.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2004-12-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050104162738/http://www.andamanvision.com/legal_form.htm |archive-date=2005-01-04 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 13. ^Tehsils
