Can you name an integral lighthouse and the screwpile lighthouse that replaced it which was itself later replaced by another aid to navigation that still exists?

Sharps Island, MD

About 1837 an integrated and portable station, with the lantern built on top of the wooden keeper’s quarters.
1865 Screwpile lighthouse was built
1887 Caisson lighthouse, tilted but still standing! Sold in 2006 for $80,000 to a private owner.

Not the one I want. The original light I want was not a portable station and the current aid is not a caisson light.

Greenbury Point Lighthouse, an integral station, was lit in 1848 at the point of the same name where the Severn River meets the Chesapeake Bay, across the river from the U.S. Naval Academy which was built a few years earlier.

The location was a poor one due to erosion and the lights of the Annapolis area which made it difficult to see the light from the lighthouse. In 1892 the Greenbury Shoal Lighthouse, a screwpile built about 1000 yards offshore, was lit to replace the shore light. Unfortunately ice damage to the screwpile caused it to be replaced in 1934 on the same site by a skeleton (spider) tower which is still active today. Below is a link with photos and more information.

Name the Canadian light that serves as a front range for a back range light as well as a rear range for a front range light--one light, two ranges.

I recently added this one to my collection. Not the actual lighthouse, but the HL replica.

Alpena Light, Michigan
