Families of the victims of the Sewol-ho Ferry disaster have removed the memorial altar in Paengmok Port.
Members of about 30 families laid flowers, burnt incense and paid a silent tribute one last time before taking down the photos of their loved ones on Monday.
The memorial altar was established 3 years and 8 months ago at the port in Jindo, Jeollanam-do Province to commemorate the more than 300 people who died when the Sewol-ho ferry sank in April of 2014.
Sculptures and memorial items that filled the altar will be preserved at the Jindo National Maritime Safety Experience Center when it opens in 2021.
