A duck boat that sank in southern Missouri, killing 17 people aboard, has been raised.

Live broadcast footage on KY3.com showed a crane that is attached to a barge pulling the Ride the Ducks boat from Table Rock Lake on Monday morning. A boat pushed it toward the shore.

The boat sank Thursday night in churning waves near the tourist town of Branson. The victims were from Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. The boat was submerged in 80 feet of water.

The National Transportation Safety Board and U.S. Coast Guard are investigating what caused the boat to sink.
