William Braine (1814 — 3 April 1846) was an explorer. Braine served as a Marine in the Royal Marines. He was part of an expedition to find the Northwest Passage, but he died early in the trip and was buried on Beechey Island. His preserved body was exhumed in 1984, to try to determine the cause of death.〔(What Can We Learn From the Well-Preserved “Franklin Expedition” Mummies? )〕 == Franklin's lost expedition == Braine was a part of Sir John Franklin's final expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The trip was expected to last about three years, so the ships were packed with provisions which included more than 136,000 pounds of flour, 3,684 gallons of high-proof alcohol and 33,000 pounds of tinned meat, soup and vegetables.〔PBS, NOVA (Passage http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/arctic/provisions.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Franklin Expedition: Featured Mummy )〕
