It looks like an S&S 44 and judging by the reports it was French.

Well, I do not know if the hatch was left open or something happened later, but surely what amazes me is her being well out of the water after such an adventure as can be checked by the position of the boot top stripes. |

Please note that salvaging brings its own risks, two Swans (not S&S) have sunk after being taken in tow by big ships, because the ships used towing speeds far too high for the yachts :-(
