Croisilles Harbour, on the Tasman Bay side of the Marlborough Sounds and to the south of D'Urville Island, is named after Jeanne Françoise Julie Victoire de Croisilles, the mother of Dumont d'Urville, the French explorer and naval officer who explored the area in 1827. D'Urville declared the bay unsuitable for ships, although a safe anchorage and shelter from most winds.
