Salvage Crews Attempt Raise Mike Lynch’s Sunken Superyacht in Italy

Salvage operations are underway in Italy to recover the wreckage of the superyacht Bayesian, owned by tech executive Mike Lynch, which sank last August during hurricane-force winds in a Sicilian port. The disaster resulted in seven deaths, including Lynch, his daughter, a defense lawyer, and a senior Morgan Stanley banker, occurring during a cruise celebrating Lynch's recent acquittal in a U.S. fraud case. A preliminary investigation highlighted the Bayesian's exceptionally tall mast as a vulnerability to strong winds. Separately, Dr. Tommy Jamison, a military historian and naval expert, discusses new interpretations of the Sino-French and Sino-Japanese Wars, shedding light on Chinese military historical perspectives, emphasizing the importance of such reinterpretations. These diverse stories highlight ongoing historical analysis and current maritime incidents, reflecting both the significance of naval history and the risks faced by modern vessels.
