the practical answer is 'it would look like it's underwater'. Between the sheer force of the impact of hitting the sea floor, the weight of everything above it, and a century of pressure, water, and sea life, nothing of the time could survive that.
If you hypothetically had a room that was airtight when the ship sank and could survive that long, what it would look like would depend on what organisms were alive in there before the ship sunk, so mild decomp most likely.
