Inside the rebuild of the 80m iconic classic superyacht Talitha

Related articles, superyacht directory.

The tale of the 80 metre Talitha began in 1929 when the yacht – originally known as Reveler – was commissioned by the chairman of the Packard automobile company, Russell Alger, to be built by the German shipyard Krupp Germaniawerft with designs by Cox & Stevens . Following Alger’s death shortly after her launch, she changed hands numerous times and was requisitioned for use as a gunboat by the US Navy in World War II, before being reconverted into a yacht in 1949.

Undergoing several changes of ownership and refits, the vessel was eventually restored to its original lines in 1984, thanks to Australian entertainment tycoon Robert Stigwood. Following a series of mechanical issues, which resulted in the yacht being laid up in Lisbon, Jezebel (as she was then known), was sold to the reclusive American-born British petroleum industrialist, J Paul Getty. After languishing in the River Fal in Cornwall, UK for several years under the care of a skeleton crew, Talitha’s three-year full rebuild finally kicked off in 1991 at DML (Devonport Management Limited)- her owner was adamant such work should take place at a British shipyard.

Legendary superyacht designer Jon Bannenberg was given the whitest of carte blanches for Talitha G’s interiors, with Getty adopting a distinctively hands-off approach – he didn’t visit the vessel until launch day. He did however pay a visit to the complete mock-up of the owner’s cabin – complete with both marble-clad bathrooms, which was built at Ashby & Horner in Essex.

The project was to design an “entirely new interior” for an “entirely new boat” according to Jon’s son, Dickie Bannenberg, who served as project manager during the build and now heads up the Bannenberg & Rowell design studio in London. He explains: “A huge amount of the steel plating was changed but it was all done to the original method using rivets, with welders from all around Plymouth called up out of retirement to help.”

One of the key challenges was trying to “create something so immaculate within what was essentially a naval dockyard,” he says. “The processes were quite bureaucratic and very different from a conventional shipyard,” he continues.” Indeed, Bannenberg recalls his father being waylaid by the Ministry of Defence Police every time he attempted to enter the dockyard’s secure perimeter fence due to his Australian passport.

For Dickie Bannenberg, Talitha represented a “time capsule in the best sense” capturing what it would have been like to own a yacht in the pre-war years. The interior features myrtle and mahogany woods, alongside details such as a Turkish-themed carpet, monkey fists, cannon legs, cricket balls, reclaimed skylights, specially recast Sue et Mare door handles from 1925 and a carefully curated art collection.

Following her low-key launch ceremony (complete with fish pie, mugs of beef tea and cheese straws), Talitha made a brief stop in the Thames, before heading to the Caribbean. Charted repeatedly by Hollywood stars throughout the 1990s, Talitha split her time between the Caribbean and the Mediterranean and was also graced by Prince Philip for consecutive years, who stayed on board in Cowes during the absence of HMY Britannia.

Fast forward to 2021, it’s clear that the spirit of joie de vivre on board Talitha remains. Now under the ownership of Getty’s family (he passed away in 2003), Talitha’s crew is currently engaged in a virtual game of battleships with the Amels’ yacht Sixth Sense, in which crew can ‘fire a shot’ at the opposing vessel once they have completed an exercise task – 1000 squats, 300 burpees and so on.

As her long-serving captain, Guy Morrall explains: “ Talitha enjoys a challenge, whether it be Rowing for Haiti, Lift Your Ship, Whatnot2Waste, or battleships. The crew also loves cricket, stemming from Getty’s love affair with the game, with memorable moments including playing against Prime Ministers and a match in Antigua where the first over was bowled by Curtly Ambrose.”

Mike Lynch and daughter among missing after yacht sinks: What we know about disaster - and 'alarming' potential cause

The British-flagged luxury vessel named Bayesian was carrying 22 people when it got into difficulty off the coast of Sicily. Sky News looks at what we know about the tragedy.

Six bodies have been found after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel named Bayesian when it got into difficulty in the early hours of Monday, with 15 people rescued.

Here's what we know about the sinking of the luxury vessel so far.

What might have caused the sinking?

The British-flagged luxury vessel, named the Bayesian, capsized at around 4.30am local time on Monday morning off Palermo, according to ship-tracking site Marine Traffic.

It sank in a matter of minutes with 22 people on board, 12 passengers and a crew of 10, according to the Italian coastguard.

Waterspouts, essentially tornados which form over water, were seen as powerful winds battered the area overnight, local media said.

The yacht may have sunk faster with all the doors open due to the hot weather, Sailing Today magazine editor Sam Jefferson has said.

"I imagine all the doors were open because it was hot, so there were enough hatches and doors open that it filled with water very quickly and sank like that," he said.

Official pictures show air conditioning units in several of the rooms, however, which could counter the suggestion open windows caused the vessel to sink faster.

The huge mast is also likely to have played a role, he added.

What are waterspouts?

Waterspouts typically occur during thunderstorms and can develop very rapidly, within minutes.

Their spin generally reaches wind speeds between 75-200mph, but can reach as high as 300mph.

They can travel at about 10-20mph typically but can reach greater speeds, making them difficult to avoid - especially in something as slow-moving as a yacht.

Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, called the reports of a tornado or waterspout "rare" and "quite alarming".

"The vessel was at anchor in a recognised anchorage," Mr Schanck said.

"Depending on wind direction and the state of the sea, this informs the captain whether it is a safe area to anchor or not. There was nothing that was too concerning, for my eye. All in all, the captain used the information they had to make a safe call."

Who owns the yacht?

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was among those missing, along with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. His wife Angela Bacares was rescued.

Mr Lynch, 59, is known as the " British Bill Gates " and has been in the headlines in recent months over a high-profile fraud case.

In June, a US jury cleared him of all charges, which were related to the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard (HP). The yacht trip is believed to have been a celebration of the end of Mr Lynch's legal troubles.

HP accused him of deliberately overstating the value of the company before it was acquired by the American tech giant.

Mr Lynch was extradited to the US to face trial in May last year and spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco as he awaited trial on 17 charges of conspiracy and wire fraud brought by the US Department of Justice - which were later reduced to 15 charges. He always denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted.

Who was on board when the boat sank?

The passengers were largely British and American, the Italian coastguard said. Crew members were from New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada.

Charlotte Golunski was among the Britons rescued. Her LinkedIn profile says she is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm Invoke Capital and has worked there since 2012.

Speaking after the ordeal, Ms Golunski told Italian media that she lost her daughter Sofia for "two seconds" amid the "fury" of the sea but was able to retrieve her. She said she held the infant above the waves until the lifeboat was ready.

"Many people screamed. Luckily the lifeboat inflated and 11 of us were able to get on board," she told ANSA.

The girl's father James Emsley also survived, according to Sicily's civil protection agency.

Also on board were Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley, his wife Judy Bloomer, a top US lawyer Chris Morvillo, who worked on Mr Lynch's criminal case, and his wife Neda Morvillo. They were all reported as missing.

The yacht's captain James Calfield survived, along with South African crew members Leah Randall and Katja Chicken.

Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef who was working on the boat, has been found dead, the Italian Coastguard has confirmed to Sky News.

During rescue efforts, divers saw "corpses through the portholes" of the wreck as they recovered the body of a man at a depth of 50m (164ft), according to Salvo Cocina, the head of the Civil Protection of Sicily.

What do we know about the vessel?

The Bayesian is owned by a company controlled by the wife of Mr Lynch.

It was known for its unusual 72.3m (246ft) single mast - one of the world's tallest made of aluminium - and shared its name with the statistical method Mr Lynch's Autonomy software was based on.

It was built by Italian company Perini Navi in 2008 and last refitted in 2020.

It was listed for rent for up to €195,000 (£166,000) a week, according to online charter sites.

The luxury vessel , which was managed by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites.

It won a string of awards for its design, according to online specialist yacht sites.

Mr Schanck said the vessel would have been equipped with "high standard" life-saving appliances and radio communications. He added the yacht would have met all international standards and UK maritime coastguard agency regulations before its voyage.

The boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on 14 August and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of "at anchor", according to vessel tracking site VesselFinder.

The Bayesian previously travelled to other parts of Sicily before its last sighting off the coast of the port of Porticello.

On Sunday, the boat was seen off the coast of Cefalu before it travelled towards Porticello, MarineTraffic data shows.

In the days before, the yacht travelled around four of the Aeolian islands, just north of Sicily.

It was previously named Salute, or "health" in Italian, when it flew under a Dutch flag. Its minimalist interior featured light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions on charter sites.

  The capital of Dagestan is Makhachkala and you will find representatives of all of the republic’s many ethnic groups living here: Avars, Kumyks, Dargins, Lezgins, Laks and Russians among dozens of others. Makhachkala began its history in 1844 when it was founded as a Russian fortress. This fortress was called Petrovskoe after Peter the Great who visited the region in 1722 and expressed a desire to found a Russian outpost on the Caspian. It later became known as Petrovsk-Port or simply Petrovsk until the Revolution, when was given the less imperial name of Makhachkala in honour of the Avar Revoultionary Magomed-Ali Dakhadaev, whose pseudonym was Makhach. 

  Makhachkala, like the rest of Dagestan, has a reputation as a dangerous place with a high risk of terrorism. Many Western governments advise against all travel there. However in recent years it has become much safer and tourists from other parts of Russia at least are now visiting, with some foreign tourists too. 

  While Makhachkala is not the best place Dagestan can offer, its historical centre and embankment are very pretty, and it makes a great base for exploring some more remote but breathtaking parts of Dagestan.
