Breaksea Sound

Breaksea Sound is a small sound on the southwestern coast of South Island, New Zealand in the Tasman Sea. Breaksea Island in Fiordland National Park lies at its entrance. In the 1850s, early settlers Henry Hirst and John Charles Watts-Russell explored the area for flat land suitable for sheep farming, but they were unsuccessful.[1]
