The Titanic was 882.5 feet long if I remember correctly. Approximately
how long are the bow and stern sections. Was all of the section between
the stacks destroyed in the breakup? It seems to me like that there
sure should be a lot of debris from this part strewn all over the bottom
of the Atlantic.

Define "destroyed." It was pretty thoroughly broken up.

The "debris field." Yes.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_wreck the "Description of the
Wreck" section for a quick summary.
From the last paragraph of the "Stern section" sub-section there : "A large
V-shaped section of the ship just aft of midships, running from the keel
upwards through Number 1 Boiler Room and upwards to cover the area under the
third and fourth funnels, was believed to have disintegrated entirely when
the ship broke up."
