After the war, it is believed that the gun was sold as scrap iron. The citizens of Trenton, NJ., acquired it and have mounted it in Cadwallader Park. However, the reinforcing band has been lost since the gun exploded. Some researchers cast doubt on the identity of the Cadwallader Park Gun, it is well known that there are at least three other 8-inch Parrotts that exploded in similar manners. The markings on the gun are hard to read, so it was difficult to know if this gun is the actual "Swamp Angel". However, two well respected artillery researchers, Edwin Olmstead and Wayne Stark, removed enough paint to clearly read the Registry No. as "6," agreeing with Gillmore's description of the 8-in Parrott rifle in the Swamp Battery, so the identification may safely be regarded as conclusive.

The black & white photos below show the "Swamp Angel" in battery, and after it was thrown forward on it's parapet after bursting, these photos are from the Library of Congress. The color photos were taken by Michael & Ami Kendra in June of 2002 in Cadwallader Park, Trenton, NJ.
