The 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.
The Mary White with its sister boat, the Culmer White, took part in the rescue of the Northern Belle in January 1857. The Belle was an American transatlantic ship which ran aground near Thanet in blizzard conditions. The Culmer White and the Mary White made repeated trips to the damaged Belle and saved the entire crew.[1][2]
