Cunarder Man's photo "Inside her Funnel

This is an amazing photo. I cannot even make out what is in this picture.

John, could you please explain in simple words what it was you saw, and of course how you managed to get there! This must have been a most memorable day for you .

What I think I'm seeing in there... is outer casing on the left and the huge exhaust pipes running up on the right of the picture...?
