US EditionBritish Superyacht that Sank Off Sicily Killing 7 Is to Be Raised This Weekend
- The British superyacht Bayesian sank off Sicily on August 19, 2024, killing seven people including billionaire Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah.
- The vessel capsized rapidly, tipped by extreme winds exceeding 70 knots to a full horizontal position in less than 15 seconds, during a boat outing celebrating Lynch's acquittal in a U.S. fraud case.
- Salvage teams started recovering the 56-meter Bayesian near Porticello in early May, but the operation was paused after a diver tragically lost their life during underwater activities, leading to an increased reliance on remotely operated equipment.
- Marcus Cave of TMC Marine stated that, weather permitting, the final stage of the vessel’s recovery is planned for this weekend, involving the use of a floating crane and eight steel lifting straps to raise the boat from a depth of 50 meters.
- A criminal probe is underway by officials in Italy, and the vessel is slated to be moved to Termini Imerese to support the ongoing investigation into the incident.
