Workers try to raise the sunken Sewol ferry between two barges during the salvage operation in waters off Jindo, South Korea, Thursday, March 23, 2017. By about 7 a.m., the ferry had been raised enough for workers to climb on it and fasten it further to the barges. As of 5 p.m., the top of the ferry was about 8.5 meters (27 feet) above the water’s surface. The loading process, including emptying the ferry of water and fuel, is expected to take days. Salvaging the huge, corroded ferry from a channel notorious for dangerous currents has been a difficult and expensive job.
