Sunken Chests are object exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in Return of Them.
A Sunken Chest appears in the Ocean in the form of Underwater Salvageable after the player read a Message in a Bottle. They can be retrieved from water with a Pinchin' Winch. They must be hammered or deconstructed to drop their contents plus 3-5 Broken Shells. The contents are decided upon spawn and cannot be changed.
Sunken Chest can also be found on the Pirate Sloop from Pirate Raids with a 35% chance. In this kind of Pirate Raid, instead of robbing the player, Powder Monkeys and Prime Mate will run away from the player with their Sunken Chest on board.
There are 9 slots in a Sunken Chest.

Since a Sunken Chest has only 9 slots, it is not possible to receive all of the rewards above at once, unless two or three of the rolls for gems happen to pick a gem of the same color.
If two Ocean Monuments appear in a world, the chest in one of them will have only one slot, and thus contain only one random drop from the list above.
Trivia
- The Sunken Chest was introduced in the She Sells Sea Shells update.
