Reporters and members of the government's Sewol Investigation Committee inspect the salvaged ferry Sewol at Mokpo New Port, 410 kilometers southwest of Seoul, Thursday. The inside of the vessel, which was lifted upright on May 10 after being hoisted from the seabed last year, was open to the press for the first time. The 6,825-ton ferry carrying 476 passengers capsized off the southwestern coast on April 16, 2014, killing 304 people -- most of them high school students on a field trip to Jeju Island. / Yonhap
