British divers retrieved an 80-pound brass bell from the only American destroyer sunk in World War I more than 100 years after the ship was torpedoed

• Divers retrieved a brass bell from the sunken USS Jacob Jones, a WW1-era American destroyer.
• The bell was recovered due to concerns about the plundering of military wreck sites.
• The bell will be sent to the Washington Navy Yard and held at the command's underwater archeology lab.

More than a century after a German U-boat torpedoed the USS Jacob Jones off the coast of Britain during World War I, a team of divers retrieved the American destroyer's massive brass bell.
