History

Seaman was discovered in 1806 by Charles A Seaman, a local seaman enthusiast. He attested that he felt at home in Seaman due to its “sticky, somewhat-viscous fluidity. While rivals, at times, attempted to question his expertise in Seamonology, none were able to fully convince the public of their superior knowledge of Seaman and its guzzling nature.[7] The village was named after the local Seaman family.[8]
