My Great Uncle sailed on both ships and I am trying to locate information on both. I have a photo on him aboard the Zelos . The lifebuoy in the photo says Zelos Goteborg. Another photo on board the Concordia was taken in 1901. I know the Concordia ran aground in Australian waters and was towed to Australia then sold. My Uncle was Swedish and immigrated to Australia after the Concordia's grounding. Thanking you. Debbie
