Recovery of migrant boat.
On 29th. June 2016 the Ievoli Ivory was raising the wreckage of a boat, believed to have carried at least 700 African migrants, which sank 193 km south of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa on 18th. April 2015. Naval engineers attached salvage equipment to bring the sunken boat to the surface two days ago. The Italian navy has recovered 169 bodies so far but hundreds more were believed to be locked below deck. The boat’s portholes, hatches and other openings were sealed to ensure that none of the bodies were lost as it was slowly winched up from the seabed. It was lifted onto a barge which was being towed by the Ievoli Ivory to the port of Augusta in Sicily.
It will then be lifted onto dry land and covered in a vast, refrigerated tent-like structure, in which forensic experts will begin the task of trying to identify the victims. The structure will be 30 m long and 10 m high to accommodate the boat. The operation to recover the corpses from the wreck will be carried out by the Italian national fire service and by personnel from the Italian Red Cross. The bodies will be examined by medical experts from various universities with the aim of gathering useful information that will enable the corpses to be identified.
