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

Salvage experts hauled British tech tycoon Mike Lynch's superyacht from the water on Saturday and plan to take it to a Sicilian port for inspection, 10 months after it sank off the coast of Sicily, killing Lynch, his teenage daughter and five others.

Water is being pumped out of the Bayesian superyacht as the British vessel is gradually lifted out of the sea off the coast of Sicily.
