Culmer White
The Culmer White was a 19th-century lifeboat of the Isle of Thanet, Kent, England. With its sister boat, the "Mary White", it 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. Both the "Culmer White" and the "Mary White" made repeated trips to the damaged "Belle" and saved the entire crew. References.
