A relative of a sailor who died aboard the Kursk submarine is offered a drink by a naval officer as she is comforted by another mourner during a ceremony held on a ship above the site where the submarine lies in the Barents Sea August 24, 2000. Relatives and comrades of the 118 sailors who died in the disaster visited the site to lay wreathes after boycotting a national day of mourning on Wednesday.
