A civic group held a memorial service Sunday for the victims of a ferry sinking in 2014 that killed more than 300 people in one of Korea's worst maritime disasters.
The memorial service drew around 100 people at a port in Mokpo, 410 kilometers southwest of Seoul, where the rusted wreck of the Sewol ferry was placed.
The 6,800-ton vessel sank on April 16, 2014, in waters off the country's southwest coast, killing 304 people, mostly high school students on a trip to the southern resort island of Jeju. (Yonhap)
