Salvage crews have partially refloated a superyacht that sank off Sicily last year. The incident resulted in the tragic loss of seven of the 22 individuals on board, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter.
The vessel sank during unexpectedly severe weather in August. Naval experts have questioned the yacht’s ability to withstand such conditions, suggesting the speed of the sinking warrants further investigation.
Tragically, a diver perished during preliminary salvage operations in May. Italian media identified the diver as a Dutch national employed by a specialized salvage company. Reports detail the circumstances surrounding this fatality.
