PSSuccess is a historicpaddle steamer inVictoria, Australia. Originally built as a snagging steamer in June 1877, it is currently being restored by thePort of Echuca to full working order. When operational, it will be added to the fleet of paddle steamers atEchuca Wharf.^[2]

During her working life, theSuccess spent her working days towing barges containing red gum, wool, and other cargo along the river system, while also operated as a passenger vessel betweenSwan Hill andMildura during the years of 1915–1916.^[4] TheSuccess was also used to rescue sheep from flooded stations during the1956 Murray River flood.^[1]
