The luxury yacht owned by deceased tech billionaire Mike Lynch, which sank during a storm last year, has been towed to a Sicilian port for investigation. British and Italian authorities will inspect the vessel to figure out why it went down, claiming the lives of Lynch, his teenage daughter, and five others.

Editor’s Note: Beyond the tragic loss of life, this story matters because it involves a high-profile figure and raises questions about safety standards for superyachts—floating symbols of extreme wealth that aren’t immune to disaster. The investigation could lead to tighter regulations or at least shed light on what went wrong.
