John Torrington was one of the Franklin Expedition of the 1840s. The mission was to find the "Northwest Passage," the nonexistent seaway cutting through the Americas that would allow ships a shortcut to the Far East. The crew's vessel sunk, and as a result of lead poisoning from tainted cans, the final few men became deranged and attempted to carry furniture across Canada on foot. They all eventually succumbed to death. Torrington was buried in permafrost in 1846, which preserved him almost perfectly.
