Mike Lynch’s boat recently sank: Tribute to ‘caring, passionately crazy, accidentally hilarious’ sister Hannah

Friends have paid tribute to the “smart, caring and beautiful” daughter of tech tycoon Mike Lynch after her body was recovered from an Italian ferry disaster.

Hannah Lynch was one of 22 people aboard her father’s luxury yacht Bayesian when it capsized during stormy weather on Monday. Italian rescue teams recovered his body, the last of six people found on Friday after a five-day search.

Distraught classmates said the 18-year-old, who was due to attend Oxford just weeks before the tragedy, loved literature and life.

The sinking of the spacecraft has baffled naval experts.

They say that a Bayesian-like boat built by Italian high-end yacht manufacturer Perini should weather the storm and not sink as quickly as it did under any circumstances.

The older sister of Mike Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter Hannah has paid tribute to her “little angel” after she was confirmed dead on a luxury yacht that sank with her father.

Mr Lynch and Hannah were among seven people who died in the Bayesian drowning off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday.

The 59-year-old tech mogul, the creator of software company Autonomy, cleared a major scandal in June related to its $11bn (£8.64bn) sale to US firm Hewlett-Packard.

Pierce Mugglejohn Statements:

The fire department said their team of more than 40 experts conducted 123 dives for Bayesian decomposition.

The superyacht lies intact on its side at a depth of 50 meters (164 feet).

The Bayesian shipwreck salvage operation could cost up to €15 million, according to local reports.

Towing the superyacht from the sea could help investigators figure out what happened, but the operation would be complicated and expensive.

South African engineer Nick Sloane, who led the salvage operation for the Costa Concordia cruise ship that sank in 2012, told daily La Repubblica on Friday that it will take six to eight weeks, including preparatory work, to complete. By mid-October, without specifying the reasons for the timing.

Bringing the boat to the surface would have to be done “very, very slowly” and could take up to two days, he said.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were initially among the unknown after his superyacht Bayesian capsized in a storm off the coast of Sicily early Monday morning.

After a decade-long legal battle that saw him extradited to the United States to face an $11 billion fraud case, Mr Lynch celebrated by inviting close friends, colleagues and aides to join his legal team on his yacht. gratitude

A Bayesian superyacht crew must avoid sinking in 16 minutes, says the boss of the yacht’s builder.

said Giovanni Costantino, chief executive of Italian Marine Group, which owns boatbuilder Perini Navi. Financial Times: “The torture lasted for 16 minutes. It did not decrease in a minute as some scientists claimed. It fell in 16 minutes. You can see it from the charts [Automatic Identification System] Observation Chart.”

He continued: “The captain must prepare the boat and keep it as alert and safe as the boat itself [Sir Robert Baden Powell] Anchored 350 meters away, it was built and handled in 1957 [weather] A wonderful event.”

The FT said it had checked that Mr Constantino’s times matched the AIS data, but could not at this stage confirm his speculation about what happened.

A family friend has paid tribute to Mike Lynch as “warm, funny, intelligent, loyal and exceptionally brave, with a heart as big as his brain”.

Albert Reid said on Friday: “I’ve never met anyone like Mike. Intelligence, a steel that changes the world around him, an instinct for family and friends – organizing children’s treasure hunts, large gatherings of neighbors in Suffolk – and, with Angela, a determination to illuminate the worlds of art and science. His two beloved daughters.

“Warm, funny, intelligent, loyal and exceptionally brave, with a heart as big as his brain.”

Tributes have been paid to the 18-year-old daughter of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch after his body was recovered from his sunken Bayesian yacht.

Unconfirmed reports in Italian media now say prosecutors are set to announce a manslaughter investigation into the incident, which killed a total of seven people and rescued 15 people from the lifeboat.
