Mary White was a lifeboat based in Broadstairs, Kent, England, named in 1851 after the completion of an heroic rescue of a brig, the Mary White. Mary White with her sister boat, Culmer White, took part in the rescue of Northern Belle in January 1857. Northern Belle was an US transatlantic ship which ran aground near Thanet in blizzard conditions. Culmer White and Mary White made repeated trips to the damaged Belle and saved the entire crew.[1][2]
