The Sir George Seymour was one of the first four ships in 1850 to carry emigrants from England to the new colony of Canterbury in New Zealand. The other three ships were Cressy, Charlotte-Jane and Randolph. The passengers aboard these first four ships were referred to as The Pilgrims. Their names are inscribed on a marble plaque in Cathedral Square in the centre of Christchurch.
It is presumed that the ship was named for Sir George Francis Seymour (17 September 1787 - 20 January 1870), an Admiral who married Georgina Mary Berkeley, daughter of Admiral Sir George Cranfield Berkeley.
