Bayesian: Mike Lynch’s superyacht seen on surface for first time since tragedy
Water pumped from Bayesian superyacht as it is seen for first time since sinking
- The superyacht Bayesian, owned by Mike Lynch, has been seen upright off the coast of Sicily for the first time since it tragically sank last month, resulting in seven deaths.
- The 56-metre vessel was spotted near Porticello, held by a powerful sea crane, as salvage workers continued to pump Water from it in preparation for full recovery.
- The sinking on August 19 claimed the lives of Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah, Jonathan and Judy Bloomer, US lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo, and chef Recaldo Thomas.
- Investigators from the UK and Italy are raising the vessel to fully understand the incident, with an interim report indicating it was knocked over by "extreme wind" due to an unknown vulnerability.
- The yacht is expected to be brought to Termini Imerese for further investigation, following earlier delays in salvage efforts due to a diver's death in May.
