8. Triple Effect Vacuum Evaporator, Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905. It is of a triple effect vacuum evaporator manufactured by McOnie Harvey & Co., Ltd., Glasgow. Sugar was concentrated by passing cane liquor through three vessels, each with an increasingly higher vacuum and lower temperature in order to achieve evaporation. Not only did the evaporator reduce the amount of required fuel through steam re-circulation and evaporation at lower temperatures, but it also protected the sugar product from destruction at higher temperatures.

12. Invasive Vegetation, Road to La Soledad, San Cristóbal, in 2014

Description:: Exotic invasives quickly colonize abandoned agricultural lands in the verdant landscapes of the highland ZUEs. This increases the effort required to bring farms back into production and incentivizes their abandonment. This wall of vines along the road leading to La Soledad, is typical of vegetative growth in the ZUE agricultural landscapes.

13. 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.

Description:: This is one of the few surviving portraits of Manuel J. Cobos, and is included in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:88) Its origin is unknown, but it was likely taken close to his house, possibly on the promontory to its north side not long before his assassination at the hands of his workers on January 5, 1904.

15. La Cárcel under Invasive Vegetation, El Progreso, San Cristóbal, 2014

18. Rat Traps Set on Farmland, Santo Tomás, Isabela Island, in 2016

Description:: Although impossible to substantiate, exotic rats may have been the earliest introduced alien on the islands. They could easily have been introduced as ships were careened and "smoked" on islands from early times. They are today particularly widespread, having invaded at least 36 islands where they prey on the eggs and young of reptiles and birds.

21. Like the rest of the village on San Cristóbal, the Progreso sugar factory was founded by Manuel J. Cobos. When it was built in the 1880s, the factory was very modern.

Description:: Martínez (1915:39) claims the processing plant was the largest that he had ever seen. A tall chimney dominated the zinc roofed building which housed imported machinery powered by three large boilers, each producing almost 112 kw of power, and fed by fuel from wood and bagasse. Mann (1908:29) described it as “ very well mounted and of a modern description,” noting that the up-to-date machinery, principally from Glasgow, included “a large cane mill, triple effects, vacuum pan, centrifugal separators, and a number of other accessories."

25. It was about 10 kilometers (6 miles) inland from the coast up to the plateau where Campo Noruego was to be established. To begin with, they used the tractor to transport equipment, but soon found out that it was cheaper and quicker to hire local men with teams of oxen to do the job instead. The carts were brought along from Norway.

Description:: Norwegian colonists arrived on Floreana Island in 1925 and were invited to San Cristobal Island in September 1926. By 1928, only 14 remained in Campo Noruego. This photograph shows their equipment delivered via oxen-drawn cart, the same means of conveyance used by the hacienda to deliver products to its Bodega on the coast at Puerto Chico.

26. Port Official and Soldiers on Chatham Island in 1905

Description:: This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905 during the scientific visit of the California Academy of Sciences. It shows the port official and soldiers stationed on Chatham Island as they pose on board the schooner "Academy." Official occupations on the island included: inspector, warden, guards, postmaster, and lighthouse keeper. Despite their presence, it was observed that government authority was illusory; government representatives did nothing except to demonstrate the existence of governmental representation. Effective power rested in the hands of Manuel J. Cobos,
