Nogood Lagoon by DI personnel. The SGS of 1951–1952, reported that the feature is known locally as Little Jason. The name Little Jason Lagoon was approved in order to indicate the nature of the feature, and at the same time to conform with local usage. The narrow peninsula separating the lagoon from the harbour ends in Lagoon Point, first called Bluff Point by DI but renamed on a 1930

Wood Point marks the entrance of Little Jason Lagoon to the north. Little Jason Lagoon, a near-circular lagoon 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) sits at the head of the harbour, separated from it by a narrow peninsula. So narrow is the channel into Little Jason Lagoon that it was initially named
95:(SGS) of 1956–1957, reported that the name was misleading; the rocks are not in a continuous straight line forming a natural breakwater, but are in a group. The name was therefore altered to "Breakwater Rocks" by the 83:
chart. A group of rocks called the Breakwater Rocks extends across the south part of the entrance to Boat Harbour. The feature was initially named The Breakwater, probably by Lieutenant Commander

Tor Point forms the east side of the entrance to Jason Harbor. The name appears to be first used on a 1930 British Admiralty chart.
