Pelorus Jack was an incredible and loyal dolphin, guiding ships safely through the dangerous channel in New Zealand for 24 years. His dedication prevented shipwrecks and earned him protection under a law after a sailor’s attempt to harm him. While his ultimate fate remains uncertain, it’s believed that he likely passed away from old age around 1912 when he was 24 years old. His legacy as a guardian of ships is remarkable and remembered by many.


This was a heart warming and extraordinary story. Reading it I felt such love and appreciation for the dolphin.

Yes, I had the same reaction. I’ve always wondered about the gentle natures of whales and dolphins. They seem to be unusually human-like.
