During July 1889, while ashore between two voyages as Master of the Seine, John Seymour was recommended and proposed for Fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society. Five months later, while he was actually taking sundings off the West coast of Africa near todays Ginea-Bissau and Senegal, he was elected a Fellow (FRGS).
The names of the nominating Fellows appear to be William Waring and A W Williams.
The RGS candidature form also records John Seymour's death as having occurred ten years later during 1899.
