At the time, this accident was the largest ferry disaster in South Korea since December 15, 1970, when 323 people on board were killed in the sinking of the ferry Namyoung (남영호).[3][4]
Seohae was a ferry of 110 gross tons, with a maximum capacity of 221 passengers.
Accidentedit
At the time of the incident, “Seohae” was carrying 362 people (355 passengers and 7 crew), an excess of 141, and the weather condition was harsh with winds of 10 to 14 metres per second (22 to 31 mph) and wave height of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft).[3]
Overloading was a factor in the sinking. Another was a 1 cm (0.4 in) thick rope found wrapped around both propeller shafts. The rope, left behind by fishing operations, may have made the ferry heel over onto her starboard side.[5]
Aftermathedit
Divers were employed to help recover the bodies of deceased victims after the vessel sank.[6]
