Recovery of anything from three miles beneath the ocean's surface is a significant achievement, of course, but the very rocket engines that flew humans to their first lunar landing are obviously of particular historical importance. Bezos and his company plan to restore the components to construct at least one museum-quality engine for public display.

 

Each of the Saturn V's first stage F-1 engines gulped one ton of fuel and two tons of oxidizer per second, and they produced a staggering 1.5 million pounds of thrust. At peak thrust, the Saturn V's five F-1 engines together produced the equivalent of 60 gigawatts of energy—roughly equal to the peak electricity demand of the entire United Kingdom.

One of these engines produces enough energy to power 10 DeLorean time travel machines.
makes more sense on this forum

Holy cow, thats a lot of energy....

How is this for a brain twister: The fuel turbo pump on a single Saturn V F1 engine had a rated shaft power of 55'000 HP. Fiftyfive thousand horse power. Just for the fuel pump.

They're actually revisiting Saturn V technology for future engines.

Here's a NASA page with a video of an F1 Gas Generator test done in January this year. 

One word: awesome!!

In somewhat related news, they did some engine tests in the past few weeks of the J-2X engine being developed for SLS:

Impressive engineering.
