Watch: Sunken British superyacht raised from seabed

A superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily

Can now be seen raising from the seabed by a specialist salvage team. The Bayesian superyacht sank last year with 22 people on board. Seven died, including the vessel's owner and his daughter. It sank during freak weather in August; naval experts say it should have withstood a storm better than it did. A diver died in May during an attempt to raise the yacht. Italian media say the diver was a Dutch national working for a specialist salvage company.

Initial reports and the sinking
