This is the specially built cradle that will hold the wreck of the £25million superyacht Bayesian.
Seven people including tech tycoon Mike Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, died when the 183ft yacht sank after being hit by a superstorm last summer.
On Sunday, following a two-month £20 million salvage operation the Bayesian, now fully out of the water after being lifted 160ft from the seabed, was due to be taken to the port of Termini Imerese and lowered into the cradle.
The journey of 12 miles was expected to take most of the day as the support crane carrying her, the Hebo Lift 10, will travel at a snail’s pace to prevent any excessive swinging motion.
MailOnline was able to watch a team of workmen, wearing high viz jackets and safety helmets, working in the 30c heat on the quayside at Termini Imerese putting together what appeared to resemble a Meccano set.
