There are several sections, the largest being the mid-ship section consisting of boilers, engine and associated stern wreckage. The mid-ship torpedo tubes lie atop the mass of debris with the torpedoes still inside. Gun shells and calibration rings are commonly recovered from the site and the occasional personal article. Warheads are found as well, but best left alone. Large lobsters have come up recently from the Jones too.
