A son époque, le Togo est un navire moderne avec sa coque en acier équipée de cinq cloisons étanches. Au moment du naufrage, il transportait du charbon en vrac et sa conception ne l’empêchera pas de couler en heurtant une mine à l’abri de la baie de Cavalaire. Contrairement à la plupart des navires ayant subi ce genre de fâcheux désagrément, la proue du Togo est intacte. L’épave est posée bien droit sur sa quille, l’absence de gîte rend son étrave très photogénique. En s’écartant dans le bleu pour l’observer avec quelque recul, ses deux ancres à jas dépassant de chaque bord, tout plongeur aura l’impression de la voir naviguer… mais peut-être la profondeur favorise-t’elle largement cette sensation.
