New photos have been released showing the massive mast of the superyacht which tragically sank near the coast of Sicily nearly a year ago.

As per the reports, the yacht called the Bayesian, owned by Mike Lynch was fully recovered form the sea and the salvage operation has now ended.

The British superyacht named Bayesian sank on August 19, 2024 near Porticello, closed to Palermo in which seven people died including tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

While, fifteen people survived, including Mike's wife Angela Bacares, the captain and all crew members except the chef.

The rescue team has recovered the main body of the 184-foot long yacht, its 236-foot mast and other items like deck furniture whose photos were released yesterday on June 29.
