Success Bank is a sandbank in Cockburn Sound, off Fremantle, Western Australia. It is about deep and is just to the south of the main shipping channel of Gage Roads. 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, HMS ''Success'' revisited Western Australia and ran aground on Carnac Reef, a shoal further to the south, causing extensive damage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Encyclopaedia of Australian shipwrecks )〕 ==Description== The sandbank extends about from the coast in a West and North-Westerly direction and is up to wide.

Two approximately deep man-made shipping channels dissect the sandbar, built for the Fremantle Port Authority to carry cargo and other deep water ships to and from Owen Anchorage. Success Bank is covered extensively with the seagrasses ''Posidonia'' and ''Amphibolis griffithii''.〔 Parmelia Bank is slightly smaller and runs approximately parallel to Success Bank, about further south extending from Woodman Point. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Success Bank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
