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.
