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]
