Almost a year after the tragedy, the luxury yacht Bayesian will resurface from the seabed off Palermo. The massive 56-meter vessel, which sank August 19, 2024, during a storm, will be raised Saturday after a €25 million salvage operation also marked by the death of a diver. On the night of the accident, the Bayesian was anchored about 300 meters off the coast of Porticello when a violent gale caused it to sink in just 16 minutes. Seven people died, including technology magnate Mike Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, just 18. The causes remain to be clarified, but leading hypotheses include a hatchway left open by mistake. Salvage of the wreck, lying 49 meters deep, began two months ago. Work was suspended after the tragic death of Dutch diver Rob Huijben, whose death is now the focus of an investigation. On Saturday, a specialized crane will lift the yacht thanks to eight steel cables placed under the keel. To facilitate the operation, the 72-meter mast, believed by some to be one of the possible contributors to the sinking, was also removed. Once brought to the surface, the Bayesian will be left to dry overnight before being transported to the port of Termini Imerese, where it will be placed on a special structure. There it can be inspected by magistrates and lawyers for the victims' families. Meanwhile, the Palermo Public Prosecutor's Office investigation continues. Three crew members - New Zealand captain James Cutfield, first engineer Tim Parker Eton, and night watchman Matthew Griffith - are under investigation for manslaughter disaster and multiple manslaughter. Investigators want to understand whether safety procedures were followed before the storm, which hit the area that night with gusts of up to 150 kilometers per hour.
