The H. Lee White Marine Museum is located in Oswego, New York. It was founded in 1982 by Rosemary Sinnett Nesbitt (1924-2009), a local professor and the City of Oswego Historian.[1] Nesbitt retired from directorship of the museum in 2008 after completing 25 years of service.[2]

It is the current home of the tugboat Nash, a National Historic Landmark, one of the only remaining US Army vessels from the Normandy Landings.
