BRANSON, Mo. (CNN) -- The duck boat that capsized during a storm in Missouri last week has been raised from the bottom of Table Rock Lake.

Several divers, a barge crane and water pumps were used to raise the boat. It was in 80 feet of water.

The boat capsized Thursday after a severe thunderstorm.

There were 31 people on board at the time it sank. 17-people died.

The boat will be taken to a secure facility where the Missouri State Highway Patrol will transfer custody of the duck to the National Transportation Safety Board.
