Pelorus Jack was a Risso's dolphin who was famous for accompanying ships as they passed through New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, on the route between Wellington and Nelson. He would meet Nelson-bound ships at the entrance to Pelorus Sound and would continue with them as far as French Pass, a notoriously dangerous channel lying between D'Urville Island and the South Island. With Wellington-bound ships he would make the same journey in reverse.
