The hull is barely visible beneath the water's surface.

The sunken boat was just 50 meters or 55 yards off the Turkish coast when it sank, killing at least 60 people, 31 of whom were children.

A Turkish news agency says the passengers were undocumented Palestinian nationals.

Forty-six people have thus far been rescued alive, including the captain.
