Administrative / Biographical History
Francis Martin was born in 1845 and apprenticed, aged 14, as a seaman. He came from Barton in Lincolnshire and was apprenticed for five years.
An apprenticeship indenture was a legal document whereby a master, in exchange for a sum of money (the 'premium'), agreed to instruct the apprentice in his or her trade or 'mystery' for a set term of years. The provision of food, clothing and lodging was generally part of the agreement.
