| | Battery Wagner, the Assault of July 18, 1863 |
 | | His goal was to capture the Battery and the remainder of the low, sandy, flea infested island (know locally as coffin island due to its use as a Lazzaretto and leper colony prior to the war). |
 | | The Swamp Angel Battery behind the island has been preserved.) The island's appearnce now, however, is similar to that it had during the war, low, sandy and covered with scrub growth. |
 | | S.C. Artillary, Co. A, their small field artillary, positioned in the dunes beside Wagner, protected the battery's flank and threw cannister fire across the front wall of the Battery. |
