Sir George Seymour (1844 ship)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir George Seymour was built in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear in 1844 by Somes Brothers.[2] She made one voyage transporting convicts to Australia and at least one carrying emigrants to Australia and one to New Zealand. A fire at sea in her cargo in December 1867 forced her crew to abandon her.
