Pelorus Jack - the helping dolphin
The first sighting of Pelorus Jack a Risso's dolphin (the determination was based on photos) was around 1888, when it appeared in front of the schooner Brindle, which was travelling through French Pass, New Zealand. Jack stood out due to its bright colouring and white head and there were no other similar animals in the area. From then on it regularly appeared when ships travelled from Admiralty Bay and Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere into Cook Strait and so it was named after the sound.
This route was dangerous for shipping due to shallows, treacherous currents, wild eddies and underwater rocks; there were no accidents when Pelorus Jack was present. Jack quickly became a lucky charm; it seemed to guide the ships through the dangerous straits and usually stayed with a ship for about 20 minutes. Sometimes the skippers would also wait for it when they entered the Strait.

Pelorus Jack - French Pass, New Zealand
In this way, Pelorus Jack became well known to all sailors and also to the local population. When a drunken passenger from the steamer Penguin shot at the dolphin in 1903, injuring it in the fin, the crew could only be prevented from lynching the shooter by force. The dolphin did not show itself for a fortnight and it was feared that it was dead. As a result, the Sea Fisheries Act was passed in New Zealand on 26 September 1904, which placed Pelorus Jack under protection. This was probably the first individual sea creature to be protected by law. According to legend, however, it has never helped the penguin again since this incident. Without the help of the friendly animal, the Penguin was shipwrecked in the passage.
The last sighting was in April 1912, after which it disappeared without a trace and numerous rumours about its disappearance surfaced. But his story managed to become known worldwide and statues were erected in its honour and even a children's song and a chocolate brand name were created.
