Convict/Prison Ship “Success” Memorabilia Collection. 1930s. Including copper relic souvenirs purported to be made from the hull of the ship, eleven vintage souvenir postcards (two in color), and three souvenir booklets. Good condition or better. The convict ship “Success,” built in 1790 according to some reports, was used to transport prisoners to the Australian goldfields. Years later, it was transformed into a floating museum and used to explain and display the reported horrors of penal transportation. The ship burned while docked in Lake Erie in 1946.
