I think it's because the Bayesian was the boat that sank killing its owner, UK entrepreneur Mike Lynch. The boat was called the Bayesian because he was a mathematician and that was the basis of his career. It's also interesting because the boat was notable for having the tallest mast of its kind, and then sunk partly (one would guess) because of that. The boat sink quickly because hatches were left open in the warm weather. There was also discussion of weird weather phenomena being the cause. He was also in the news shortly beforehand for fighting US prosecutors tooth and nail against a fraud case and recently beating them. Of course there are conspiracy theories that the two are connected, especially as his business partner died within a week while out jogging! The whole thing is pretty interesting overall.
