He represented the Inman Line for many years in Cobh. He was also a Justice of the Peace and had many other business interests. In 1852 Wilmount Castle in Cobh was built for the Seymour family. He lived there with his wife Catherine. Upon the western tower, Captain Seymour installed one of the earliest, if not the earliest telephones in Ireland, connecting the Castle with his shipping offices on Lynch's Quay, Cobh.
