Updated: 8:49am UK, Sunday 20 April 2014
The Sewol ferry sank in the East China Sea less than three hours after the first distress call was made to land.
Here is a timeline of the ship's voyage from Incheon:
April 15, 9pm
The Sewol leaves port in Incheon at around 9pm with 475 people and 150 vehicles on board, heading for Jeju Island.
April 16, 8.55am
First contact between vessel and land is made, with officer telling Jeju Vessel Traffic Services Centre (VTS) "our ship is in danger".
Survivors say passengers were told to remain in cabins.
April 16, 9am
Officer tells Jeju VTS ship is listing to the left and adds "it's impossible to move". Coastguard tells vessel to "wear life jackets and prepare as the people might have to abandon ship".
April 16, 9.05am
Other vessels notified as ferry continues to tilt to the side.
April 16, 9.30am
The coastguard, helicopters and other ships begin to arrive at the scene and rescue passengers who have escaped from the ferry.
April 16, 10am
Rescuers start to search for people in the overturned hull of the Sewol.
April 16, 11.20am
The ferry sinks in the East China Sea.
April 17
Text messages from people on board the ferry reveal passengers were ordered to remain in their seats and cabins as ship began listing.
Crew member Oh Yong-Seok reveals the captain waited 30 minutes before ordering the evacuation as officers tried to stabilise the vessel. By that time, the crew were unable to reach passengers because the ship was titled at such an acute angle.
April 18
Investigators reveal the ship's captain, Lee Joon-Seok, was not at the helm when the Sewol began to list. They are also examining why the ship's third mate ordered an abrupt turn around three hours before the vessel was due to arrive at Jeju Island.
Mr Lee, along with two more of the ship's crew, are arrested.
Vice-principal of Danwon High School, Kang Min-Kyu, is found dead on Jindo island. In a note found in his wallet, he described his rescue as "too painful while 200 remain unaccounted for".
April 19
Mr Lee issues a public apology for causing a "disturbance" and says he delayed the evacuation of the ferry because he thought the sea water was too cold.
Investigators reveal the third mate was steering the ship in difficult waters for the first time and in foggy conditions.
Divers trying to gain access to the ferry describe seeing bodies through its windows as the death toll officially climbs above 30.
April 20
Angry relatives clash with police on Jindo island over the speed of the recovery operation.
Divers break windows on the ferry to get inside the vessel and find more bodies, with the death toll confirmed above 50.
