A British-flagged luxury superyacht that sank off Sicily last year, killing U.K. tech magnate Mike Lynch and six others, has started its final trip to the Sicilian port of Termini Imerese.

The Bayesian was moored off Porticello near Palermo in August last year when it sank during a sudden storm, killing Lynch, his teenage daughter and five others.

A superyacht has been raised from the seabed nearly a year after it sank off the coast of Sicily, killing seven of the 22 people on board. Italian officials said the luxury yacht - known as the Bayesian - would be held up by a crane for a series of inspections requested by the public prosecutor's office.
