The superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily last summer, leading to the deaths of seven people, including British entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter. Recovery operations to raise the vessel are set to commence soon, pending weather conditions. Investigators hope the wreck will provide insights into what caused the tragedy, whether it was due to human errors or other issues. A 650-metre exclusion zone has been established around the wreck site, highlighting the complexity and sensitivity of the upcoming salvage operation.
Recovery operations to raise the 56-metre British-flagged superyacht Bayesian from the seabed off Sicily where it sank last summer killing seven people will begin on Wednesday.
Investigators hope the yacht will yield vital clues: whether a series of human errors led to the sinking, as initially suspected, or if other factors were at play.
Experts expect the salvage operation to be fiendishly complex due to the yacht's depth and the nature of the wreckage at 50 metres.
Sicilian port officials have declared a 650-metre exclusion zone around the sunken vessel, forbidding any navigation, anchoring, diving, swimming or fishing until the work is complete.
