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 a 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]
