Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses	The southern shore of the Atlantic was a cleaner coast without the roughness of the terrain like the North Atlantic and New England coastline.  The Mid-Atlantic to South Atlantic area was mostly sandy beaches and low profile shorelines so the construction of the lighthouses in this region was of tall towers.  The towers would allow the light to be shone at much greater distances out to sea.  The bays of the Mid-Atlantic, such as the Chesapeake Bay, had many screwpile style and caisson-based structures.  Many of the original screwpile structures were replaced by the caisson style after damage from ice flows destroyed their bases. Sharps Island Light on teh Chesapeake Bay is one of these "former" screwpile lights. In 1881 ice tore it from it's base and it floated down the Chesapeake bay for several miles. The keeper rode the lighthouse as it floated down the bay before eventually grounding.  The Lighthouse Board decided that a screwpile structure was not appropriate or sturdy enough for that location.
