Description
Feature shown on: NZMS260 A44 A45; NZTopo50-CE04 978116; See [history relating to Cook's place names](https://earth.google.com/web/data=Mj8KPQo7CiExMjJfZ1puZmJFV2hFRFlvSFVNVG5YU05CRWZTYTBfSWoSFgoUMDgyQ0RBRDlDNDEwMDM1OEYwNDU); 'A name that appears on Cook’s 1773 chart as Stop Isle, probably because it was near Anchor Point, where the Resolution had its first anchorage after four months in the Antarctic. Maori name: Motukiekie: motu: island; kiekie: native plant (Freycinetia banksii). The kiekie was documented by Joseph Banks, and Stop Island is one of the few places in Dusky Sound where it grows.'
