What was meant to be a relaxing summer cruise along the Mediterranean ended in tragedy. The superyacht ‘Bayesian’ owned by magnate Mike Lynch shook the town of Porticello, Sicily, and the world, after sinking off the Italian coast. PUBLICIDAD The Bayesian had departed from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar and making a stopover in Milazzo, it arrived in Porticello on Sunday.
The 12 passengers, from the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, New Zealand, and Ireland, had booked the cruise through agencies specializing in luxury vacations, and it is unknown if there was a previous connection between them. On board, they had a crew of 10 people, mostly citizens of Sri Lanka, who were responsible for meeting all their needs on board. PUBLICIDAD This Friday, Italian rescuers brought ashore the body of the last person who was still missing, reported the Italian Coast Guard.
Authorities believe it is the teenage daughter of the British magnate who died in the tragic incident. Hannah Lynch, 18, was the only person who had not been found. "The Lynch family is devastated, in shock, and is being comforted and supported by relatives and friends.
Their thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy," said a family spokesperson in a statement issued on Friday. What was the inside of the Bayesian like, which they claim was 'unsinkable'? Valued at around 40 millions dollars, the Bayesian was a nautical gem that stood out for its 75-meter aluminum mas.
