Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos confirms Apollo 11 rocket engine recovered

...each of the five engines which lifted the Saturn V rocket to an altitude of 38 miles in less than three minutes, weighed nearly 9 tons and provided 32 million horsepower through 6,000 pounds of fuel burned every second. The rocket made re-entry at 5,000 miles per hour, plummeted into the Atlantic and sank to a depth of 14,000ft.

My uncles worked on these engines (design and manufacture) so this kind of stuff is always really interesting to me.
