I'm afraid I cannot say for sure what applied in the 1850's, but I should
think that was the case.

I base this on my own Apprenticeship with Cunard, starting in 1958, when a
bond of £30 was paid on signing Indentures. This was repaid on satisfactory
completion (of 3 years) and in fact bought me my first sextant!
