M/V H. Lee White is a diesel-powered Lake freighter owned and operated by the American Steamship Company (ASC).

The ship is 704 feet (215 m) long and 78 feet (24 m) wide, with a carrying capacity of 35,400 tons (at midsummer draft), limestone, grain, coal or iron ore.[3] The ship was built for American Steamship in 1974 and was named H. Lee White for former chairman Harris Lee White.

[3] On September 6, 1992, H. Lee White struck the Grosse Ile Toll Bridge knocking off one of the spans.

On appeal, the judgement was reversed and sent back to the district court for re-evaluation of liability.

[4] In 2006, the ship and American Steamship were found 3% liable, as the port anchor could have been deployed to potentially avoid the collision.
