Bajuwaren yacht lifted out of the sea and brought to Sicilian port
A British luxury superyacht with the name Bayesian last year and falled off the coast of Sizilia The British technologieemagnate Mike Lynch and six other people cost their lives on Sunday to complete their last trip to the Sicilian port of Termini. This was done a day after completing the complex rescue operation to raise the ship out of the water.
Settlement operation of the yacht
The white top building and the blue fuselage of the 56 -meter -long (184 feet) Bayesian, which were covered with algae and mud, were held in height by a yellow floating crane before the port of Porticello before the ship was placed in Termini.
final transfer to land
On Monday, the sensitive rescue operation is completed by transporting the ship ashore and securing in a specially made steel tub. Then it will be available to the investigators to carry out further examinations that are intended to clarify the causes of sinking.
Details on the accident
The Bayesian sank on August 19 in front of Porticello, near Palermo, during a violent storm. The event of the trip was a cruise to celebrate Lynch's acquittal two months earlier in the United States in a fraud. Lynch, his daughter and five other people were tragically killed, while 15 people, including the captain and all crew members except the cook, survived.
criminal investigations in Italy
The Italian authorities conduct through. In the first three days, the ship was slowly raised by a 50 meter (165 feet) deep ground to attach steel beams, loops and straps under the keel.
The missing mast
The Bayesian is missing the 72 meter (236 feet) high mast, which was cut off and left on the sea floor for later distance. The mast had to be separated to bring the fuselage into an almost upright position that made it possible to raise the ship.
First investigation by the British authority
In a last month,British investigators stated that the yacht had overturned through “extreme wind conditions” and could no longer raise itself. The report mentioned that the Bayesian crew had selected the place where it has dropped as protection against predicted thunderstorms. At the time of the accident, the wind speeds exceeded 70 knots (approx. 81 MPH), which led to the fact that the ship was inclined to 90 degrees within less than 15 seconds.
