The collapse occurred as visitors were boarding a ferry from the island after a day of celebrating at Cultural Day festival.
Seven people who died after a portion of a gangway at a ferry dock collapsed into Georgia waters were identified Sunday.
The collapse sent at least 20 people plunging into the water, killing seven and leaving several others critically injured.
Despite community member concerns, the county said that the ferry owner has maintained their contract with the county while the boat has undergone maintenance.
