Georgia authorities have named the seven people who were killed on Saturday afternoon after a dock gangway they were on collapsed into the waters off the state's Atlantic seacoast on Sapelo Island.
Crowds had gathered for a fall celebration by the island's tiny Gullah-Geechee community of black slave descendants and were awaiting a ferry to return back to the mainland when the tragedy occurred.
Among the dead was 77-year-old Charles Houston Jr., of Darien, a chaplain for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources - the same agency investigating what caused the gangway's 'catastrophic failure.'
