Maurice Vidal Portman (21 March 1860 in London, Ontario, Canada - 14 February 1935 in Axbridge, Somerset, UK) was a British naval officer, who is best known for his documentation and pacification of several Andamanese tribes between 1879 and 1901.〔George Weber, ''(Maurice Vidal Portman (1861-1935) )''. In ''(The Andamanese )'', Appendix A - ''Pioneer Biographies of the British Period to 1947''. Accessed on 2012-07-03.〕 ==Life and career== M. V. Portman was the third son of The Hon. Maurice Berkeley Portman (of his first marriage, to Helen Vidal Harris) who was in turn the third son of the Edward Portman, 1st Viscount Portman. He joined the Royal Indian Marine at the age of 16 and was some time in charge of the Viceroy's yacht. In July 1879 he was stationed at Port Blair in the Andaman Islands and made Officer in Charge of the Andamanese, a post which he held for more than 20 years with few interruptions (including December 1880 to December 1883 on sick leave, March 1887 to March 1888 on furlough).〔 He was able to befriend the natives to pacify some previously hostile tribes, especially the Onge people of Little Andaman Island, but he did not hesitate in using force against them on occasion.〔
