31. A Family of Village Residents in Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: Estimates of of the hacienda's population vary through time, but the relative dearth of women on the island was always noted. Accusations of promiscuity and multiple unions were said to be common, and some observers mentioned that the lack of women was a root cause for conflict between male workers. An 1889 census counted 213 men, 54 women, and 20 children on the island.

32. Hacienda El Progreso Dance Hall

Description:: Days off for workers occurred only three times annually when work would be stopped at two in the afternoon for a dance in the "repugnant" dance hall. Described as a 19m by 5m zinc-roofed hut, it served alcohol for social events which were described as theatres of bloody scenes and grand orgies (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:102)

38. Manuel A. Cobos welcomes the Albemarle expedition to Galápagos. He strongly urges them to make San Cristóbal their terminal station.

Description:: The Norwegian ferro-concrete ship "Albermarle" left Oslo on September 2, 1926 with 78 settlers bound for Galápagos. The colonisation scheme was organized by Harry Randall (originally Petersen). Orginially planning to colonize Floreana, they eventually negotiated with Rogerio Alvarado and Manuel A. Cobos to settle on San Cristóbal.

39. The store in Progreso belonged to Alvarado and Cobos. Practically all workers on the island received their wages from the same gentlemen.

Description:: The Hacienda El Progreso included a warehouse, bakery, and store, which Nicolas Martínez (1915:39) tells us had all articles to be desired, including wines, liquors, and preserves. This image suggests that a building in the village was still functioning as a store in the 1920s.

Description:: This view of the worker's quarters in the village of El Progreso was taken some time around 1927 during the Norwegian colonisation. The view is West to East from the original Hacienda house area. Cerro San Joaquin is barely visible in the top left. The surrounding landscape at this time remains relatively open.
