Salvagers fully raise Mike Lynch’s superyacht Bayesian from sea off Sicily

Vessel to be transported to port where investigators will try to find cause of fatal sinking during storm

Salvage teams in Sicily say they have lifted Mike Lynch's superyacht fully and finally out of the water" for the first time since it sank last year during a storm, killing seven people including the tech tycoon and his teenage daughter.

The rusting hulk of the Bayesian, which ran into trouble off the coast of the Italian island in August last year, has been slowly raised from the seabed over the last three days. Covered with algae and mud, it was visible clear of the sea in the holding area of a yellow floating crane barge, a witness told the Associated Press.
