The Bayesian superyacht, once a symbol of luxury, emerged from the depths of the Mediterranean ten months after it tragically sank off Sicily's coast. Salvage experts have lifted the yacht using one of Europe's most formidable maritime cranes to begin its revival.

In the tragic incident last year, the yacht capsized during a sudden storm, killing seven individuals including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter. The vessel's recovery is now in progress as it has been elevated from the seabed, a task accomplished with precision and expertise by TMC Marine and Dutch partner Hebo Maritiemservice.

The yacht's reclamation marks a step towards uncovering the details behind the disaster, with authorities set to investigate further once the ship is transported to Termini Imerese. The operation was facilitated by the removal of the 72-metre mast earlier in the week, a critical step in easing the yacht's resurrection.
