On Tuesday, South Korea commemorated the 10th anniversary of the nation's most devastating maritime tragedy, in which hundreds of schoolchildren lost their lives after the overloaded Sewol ferry capsized and sank.
A Coast Guard vessel transported some of the victims' families to the site of the sinking early Tuesday for a special ceremony. The ceremony was held at a port in Mokpo, near the recovered wreckage of the Sewol ferry.
