Salvage crews are working on a complex operation to bring a superyacht that sank off Sicily last year ashore for further investigation.

Bayesian was seen being held above the water by one of Europe’s most powerful sea cranes near the fishing town of Porticello.

The Bayesian was moored off Porticello near Palermo in August last year when it sank during a sudden storm, killing Lynch, his teenage daughter and five others.
