Success Bank is a sandbank to the north of Cockburn Sound, off Fremantle, Western Australia within the limits of the Fremantle Outer Harbour.
The bank lies to the west of Owen Anchorage.
It is about 5 metres (16 ft) deep and is just to the south of the main shipping channel of Gage Roads.[1]
Success Bank was named by Captain James Stirling after his ship HMS Success, which was used for a preliminary exploration of the Swan River region in 1827. On 28 November 1829, Success revisited Western Australia and ran aground on Carnac Reef, a shoal further to the south, causing extensive damage.[2]
