  • A British-owned superyacht, the Bayesian, which sank off the coast of Sicily in August, has been successfully raised from the seabed by a specialist salvage team.
  • The sinking incident resulted in the deaths of seven out of 22 people on board, including the owner, British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, and his 18-year-old daughter.
