The Seager family were originally from Ilfracombe, Devon, but moved to Cardiff in the 1850s. William Henry Seager was born in Cardiff and initially worked as a clerk but established his own business, W. H. Seager & Company, ship's chandlers, at 109, Bute Street, Cardiff in 1892. In 1904 he bought a new ship, the 'Tempus'. By 1910 he was buying more ships, another new ship which Seager called the 'Amicus', then three older ships which he renamed 'Beatus', 'Salvus' and 'Virtus', and also by 1914 the ''Campus'' had been added to the line. After the First World War three vessels were sold, but more were bought, and by 1928 W. H. Seager & Co. had a total of seven.〔(W.H.SEAGER & CO ) at angelfire.com, accessed 8 July 2008〕 A Liberal in politics, Seager was elected at the 1918 general election to the House of Commons as MP for Cardiff East and held the seat until he stood down at the 1922 general election. He was knighted the same year. In memory of his son Willie who was killed in action in 1916 at the age of 23, he built the William Seager Memorial Homes in Cardiff for retired Merchant Seamen and their wives and an operating theatre in Cardiff Royal Infirmary〔() at urbexforums.co.uk accessed February 2011 this page shows a photograph of the plaque in memory of Willie〕 During the Second World War, all the company's ships except the 'Campus' were lost by enemy action.〔 Seager died in March 1941.
