SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korean salvage crews on Tuesday found what appeared to be human remains on the seabed, presumed to be one of the missing victims of a 2014 ferry disaster that killed 304 passengers, an official said. Relatives of the missing victims and clergymen attend religious services on a boat near the sunken ferry Sewol on a semi-submersible transport vessel in waters off Jindo, South Korea, Tuesday, March 28, 2017.

After the ship was raised, it was loaded onto a heavy lift transport barge that will carry it to port. They will then begin to search the vessel for the remains of the remaining victims and for clues that could further explain why it sank.
