First wreckage from Brit billionaire Mike Lynch’s doomed Bayesian superyacht hauled to surface 9 months after disaster

THE first parts of tragic tycoon Mike Lynch’s superyacht Bayesian have been raised from the seabed.

Divers recovered the main boom and anchor, nine months after the billionaire, his daughter Hannah and seven others died after the ship sank off the coast of Sicily.

A pole which holds the bottom of the sail on the 184ft yacht was also recovered.

Salvors used a diamond cutting wire on the boom, sail and furling gear near the mast.

They lifted them onto Hebo Lift 2, a multi-purpose floating barge equipped with diving and underwater vehicle systems.

A high-tech remote-controlled submersible was then used to cut one of the vessel’s anchor chains, allowing it to be brought up from its position 164ft below the water.

Further specialist equipment is required for the eventual lifting of the entire Bayesian.

This will be loaded onto the colossal 5,695-gross-tonne Hebo Lift 10 – said to be one of the most powerful maritime cranes in Europe.
