This is the first image of the doomed super yacht Bayesian as she resurfaced for the first time ten months after sinking off Sicily killing seven last August.
Tech billionaire Mike Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, were among those killed on the vessel which sunk in just 16 minutes after being struck by a violent downburst.
A salvage operation to recover the vessel has been ongoing for the last two months.
Crews today readied the vessel for investigation, ahead of an actual recovery set to begin on Saturday morning.
A crowd of onlookers gathered on the shore at the fishing village of Porticello as the white top and blue hull of the yacht emerged from the depths of the Mediterranean.
