Divers find 5 bodies during search of superyacht that sank off Sicily

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday, leaving one still missing as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.
Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers on-scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth.
The discovery made clear the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater had quickly turned into a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and with no signs of life over three days of searching.
The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early Monday as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout.
Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. The body of the ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas of Antigua, was recovered Monday.
Thomas was born in Canada, according to his cousin David Isaac, but would visit his parents’ homeland of Antigua as a child, moving permanently to the tiny eastern Caribbean island in his early 20s. Italian officials previously listed Antigua and Canada as the nationality of people on board.
The fate of six missing passengers had driven the search effort, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent U.S. federal fraud trial.
Lynch’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office investigators were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy despite no formal suspects having been publicly identified.
Questions have abounded about what caused the superyacht, built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to rapidly sink, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the survivors.
:quality(70)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/adn/G2JTBJTPOSDP73K2U2ZYC2GGNA.jpg "matsu yacht owner blackrock")
Giovanni Costantino, head of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the shipmaker, blamed human error for the disaster, which he said took 16 minutes. “The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told RAI state television after he met with prosecutors.
Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. The ship straightened up slightly and then went down, he said.
But was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat like the Bayesian might have been retractable, to allow it to enter shallower ports?
“There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview.
The captain of the sailboat that rescued survivors said his craft sustained minimal damage — the frame of a sun awning broke — even with winds that he estimated reached 12 on the Beaufort wind scale, which is the highest hurricane-strength force on the scale.
He said he had remained anchored with his engines running to try to maintain the ship’s position as the forecasted storm rolled in.
“Another possibility is to heave anchor before the storm and to run downwind at open sea,” Karsten Bornersaid in a text message. But he said that might not have been possible for the Bayesian, given its trademark 75-meter (246-foot) tall mast.
“If there was a stability problem, caused by the extremely tall mast, it would not have been better at open sea,” he said.
Yachts like the Bayesian are required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water.
The underwater search continued in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the wreck’s depth, which requires special precautions, divers working in pairs could only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching, though reinforcements outfitted with special equipment to enable longer dives were on the wreck Wednesday.
In all, some 27 divers took rotations, including four who helped with recovery after the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster off Tuscany. They called the Porticello wreck a “little Concordia,” fire crews said in a statement.
The limited dive time was aimed in part at avoiding decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles.
“The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggested the operation’s managers were trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive.
“It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said.
Divers were also working with debris floating around them, limited visibility and air tanks on their backs.
“We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service. “An electric panel could set us back for five hours. These aren’t normal conditions. We’re at the limit of possibility.”
Winfield reported from Rome and Kirka from London. Associated Press visual journalists Trisha Thomas in Rome and Andrea Rosa in Porticello and reporter Anika Kentish in St. John’s, Antigua contributed.
This story has been corrected to reflect that Thomas was born in Canada, not Antigua.

The superyacht tragedy will likely spark legal drama
A deadly superyacht sinking off the coast of Italy during a storm will likely spark legal drama, experts said.
Maritime legal experts say lawsuits are likely, but negligence would need to be established.
"I would not be optimistic about the chances for any claims," one expert said.
The operator of the superyacht that sank during a violent storm off the coast of Italy this week is likely to face legal troubles over the tragedy that left UK billionaire tech tycoon Mike Lynch and others dead, according to maritime law experts.
But the success of any potential lawsuit is up for debate.
Three maritime legal experts told Business Insider that the operator and owner behind the now-sunken luxury sailing yacht called the Bayesian should lawyer up in anticipation of possible claims from families of the dead or the survivors themselves.
"There's always the possibility of claims when there's a casualty," said Martin Davies, the director of the Maritime Law Center at Tulane University School of Law in Louisiana. But based on what is currently known about the incident, Davies said it is "unlikely that any claims would succeed."
Michael Sturley, an expert in maritime law and professor at the University of Texas at Austin's School of Law, agreed. "Based on what we know now, I would not be optimistic about the chances for any claims," he said.
However, Sturley noted, "There is still a lot that we don't know."
Bad weather does not automatically absolve a party of liability, but it would be challenging to make a wrongful death or personal injury claim as negligence would need to be established, according to the experts.
"Under English law, they'd have to prove fault and I don't think there's much prospect of anyone proving fault," said Davies.
"Bad weather at sea is not at all unexpected, which is why you can't just simply say bad weather and hope to get off the hook," Davies said. "What seems different about this case is that it came suddenly."
Still, said Oregon-based maritime lawyer Gordon Carey, "It doesn't spell defeat" for a potential legal claim "just because it's a weather event."
The yacht was carrying 22, including UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch and a Morgan Stanley exec
The British-registered 184-foot yacht was anchored about a half-mile off the Italian port of Porticello near Palermo, Sicily, and carrying 22 people when a fierce storm hit and quickly sank the vessel just after 4 a.m. on Monday, according to reports.
The body of the yacht's chef, Recaldo Thomas, was found on Monday. Six other passengers — Lynch; his 18-year-old daughter Hannah; Lynch's friend and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer; Bloomer's wife, Judy; Lynch's attorney Christopher Morvillo and Morvillo's wife Neda — went missing during the disaster.
Divers on Wednesday found the bodies of Lynch and four of the missing inside the sunken yacht that was around 164 feet below the surface. Sky News reported that Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, was unaccounted for.
Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares , was among the 15 people who were rescued in the aftermath of the tragedy. Reports said Lynch had been on the boat celebrating his recent acquittal on fraud charges in the US.
According to the Associated Press , documents show Bacares as the sole owner of Revtom Ltd., the Isle of Man-registered company that the online international maritime database Equasis lists as the owner of the Bayesian.
The Bayesian was being managed by the global yachting company Camper & Nicholsons. In a statement posted to its website, the company said it can "confirm that the vessel encountered severe weather conditions and subsequently sank near Palermo, Italy."
There were a total of 10 crew members and 12 guests on board, it said.
"Our priority is assisting with the ongoing search and providing all necessary support to the rescued passengers and crew," the company said.
It was not immediately clear who the captain and crew of the vessel were employed by. Camper & Nicholsons declined to comment beyond the statement posted online.
The maritime legal experts BI spoke to said that the operator of the Bayesian could potentially face liability claims, depending on the circumstances, if it hired the captain and crew and managed the vessel.
Davies said a boat like the Bayesian is bound to have "all kinds of insurance."
"And so someone may make a claim in the hope of getting some money from the insurance," he said.
English law would likely apply if any claims were made
According to Davies, it is more likely that English law would apply should the family of any of the victims or a survivor try to take legal action since the yacht was a UK-flagged vessel. US law could be applied if jurisdiction could be established, said Davies and others.
Under US law, crew members, not passengers, could potentially make an "unseaworthiness" claim, according to the maritime experts.
"The advantage of unseaworthiness is it's a strict liability claim," said Sturley. "You don't have to prove negligence. For other losses, you'd have to prove negligence."
To make an unseaworthiness claim, Davies explained, "you'd have to argue that there's something about the vessel that makes it unfit to withstand a sudden storm like this."
However, he said, "I find it hard to see there was any unseaworthiness of the vessel here."
Also under US law, the families of the dead could potentially make a legal claim under the Death on the High Seas Act, the experts said.
"People are supposed to take precautions against weather, but you take precautions that are reasonable under the circumstances, and sometimes you have a freak weather event that nobody could see coming, and it would not have been reasonable to have guarded against that," Sturley said.
He added, "Nobody prepares for hurricanes in the Sahara Desert. And if a hurricane happens to hit the Sahara Desert, that doesn't mean that people who didn't guard against it were negligent."
The AP reported that Italian civil protection officials believe that a tornado-like waterspout hit where the yacht was anchored, likely causing it to capsize.
"If it was a water spout, which it appears to be, it's what I would class as like a 'black swan' event," Matthew Schanck, chair of the UK-based Maritime Search and Rescue Council told the AP.

About MATSU
The 36.5m (119.6ft) MATSU is a metallic-grey hulled composite motor yacht constructed to RINA classification by Italian shipyard ISA Yachts and delivered in 2007. This 235GT sleek performance yacht, capable of a thrilling top speed of 32 knots, has exteriors by Vallicelli & Co and restful earth-toned interiors by the celebrated Cristiano Gatto. Built to MCA compliance for commercial operation and with a draft of just 1.5m (4.9ft), she is currently used privately (EU VAT Paid) and she is tailor-made for Mediterranean island-hopping in style.
Her flybridge, huge for a yacht of her size, has a helm station forward to starboard and a sliding door leads down into the wheelhouse. A fully equipped bar to port lies opposite a raised sunpad, beneath which there is plumbing installed for a jacuzzi to be fitted, and under the hardtop are two lounge seating areas. On the aft deck is a very large sunpad, Teppanyaki grill and a DJ station for entertaining guests. Steps either side lead down to the main deck.
Aft is a very large sunpad and there is club seating around a circular table partially shaded by the overhang. Steps port and starboard lead down to a good-sized swim platform, with a sturdy central passerelle, and walkaround sidedecks lead forward to a double sunpad on the foredeck.
Curved glass doors slide back to reveal an interior with pale and dark matt-finished woods, a cream leather deckhead and cream-coloured caulking in the strip-planked deck. The main saloon is ideally suited to entertainment. The formal dining area is aft, with excellent views through the open doors, adjacent fully equipped bar for refreshment and opposing lounge seating forward where guests can enjoy the bulkhead mounted TV .
MATSU’s split-level owner’s suite, very spacious and with plenty of natural light through picture windows, is forward on the main deck and features an island double berth with sofa seating with vanity table and storage either side. Steps lead down to a circular jacuzzi, his-and-hers basins, heads and a walk-in wardrobe. On the lower deck, a full-beam VIP suite, double cabin and twin cabin complete versatile, family-friendly accommodation for up to eight guests in four cabins. She also sleeps up to six crew .
Three 2,400hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 32 knots, a cruising speed of 22 knots and a maximum range of 550nm. Her large tender garage is forward of the engine room on the lower deck and the 6m (19.7ft) Castoldi tender is launched through a shell door to starboard. She also has two side garages for jetskis and additional storage space on her aft deck for SeaBob and inflatable toys.
