''Concordia'' had 130 people on board and was bound for the Cape of Good Hope, and then the Netherlands. She was last sighted by ''Mercurius'' in open seas to the south of Sunda Strait on 5 February 1708, in bad weather. == History == Built in 1696, ''Concordia'' was a large ship for her day, being approximately 900 tons. On 15 January 1708, under the command of Joris Vis, the ''Concordia'' set out from Batavia on a return trip to the Netherlands with two other VOC ships; ''Zuiderberg'' and ''Mercurius''.〔Instituut voor Nederlandse Geschiedenis (2008).
