Two journeys of discovery led to the naming of these features in Fiordland’s Tamatea / Dusky Sound.

Botanist Joseph Banks’ hope of New Zealand being the ‘great southern continent’ were dashed when the HMB Endeavour rounded the southernmost point of Stewart Island / Rakiura and only ocean lay beyond. In 1998 the Ngāi Tahu Treaty settlement restored the original Māori name to the cape.

Named after the naturalist Joseph Banks, Banks Peninsula was shown on maps as an island for forty years until an 1809 survey.

Alternative official names for this Te Ika-a-Māui North Island feature recognise the great Pacific navigator Kupe and Sir Hugh Palliser, who was a key supporter of Cook in the British Admiralty.

While the HMB Endeavour was under repair in Meretoto / Ship Cove, Cook took a small boat and crew to explore Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui.
