92. Feral Goats above Hacienda La Tranquila, La Soledad, San Cristóbal, in 2014

Description:: The first known introduction of goats to the islands may have occurred as early as AD 1693. Currently naturalized on three islands and eradicated on another 11, goats are a highly problematic invasive. These feral goats were photographed in 2014 in the highlands above Hacienda La Tranquila, despite declarations that no wild goats were to be found on San Cristóbal.

93. 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.

94. Bacalao, coffee, sugar, yucca flour, corn and cattle were the most important export products on San Cristóbal. Here, the Manuel J. Cobos is loaded with sacks from the trolleys on the long pier at Wreck Bay.

Description:: Hacienda goods were loaded onto ships via a large 100 m long wooden pier equipped with a rail system, and whose stone base can still be seen at the south end of the bay. Products were moved between the islands and mainland on two boats, the “Manuel J. Cobos” and “Josefina Cobos,” which were often the only available means for communication with the outside world. Bacalao refers to grouper, which was dried and exported to the mainland, especially for religious occasions.

95. 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."

97. When Albemarle sailed back to Panamá, Harry Randall moved in with Manuel A. Cobos. Nearly every day he went riding with his host.

Description:: Harry Randall (originally Petersen) organized the largest colonisation scheme of Norwegians in Galápagos. Eventually negotiating with Rogerio Alvarado and Manuel A. Cobos to settle on San Cristóbal, Randall discovered that neither held any legal claim to lands or cattle. Nevertheless, the scourge of red ants and pigs devastated their temperate crops, and by 1930 few of the Norwegian settlers remained; a few relocated to Santa Cruz.

98. Close-up of Women at Mess-hall, Hacienda El Progreso, 1888

Description:: This photograph of Hacienda El Progreso was taken in 1888 during a scientific visit by the "Albatross." It shows a close-up picture of women from the hacienda in a food preparation area of what was likely the communal mess-hall directly below and east of the hacienda house, with worker's house in the background.

99. Rogerio Alvarado was married to Josefina, Manuel A. Cobos' older sister. He lived most of the time in Guayaquil.

Description:: At the time of her father’s death Josefina Cobos was living in Guayaquil and married to Rogerio Alvarado who assumed control of El Progreso in 1909. He, immediately announced ambitious plans to colonize other islands, introduced his own currency, and laid claim to the entire island, as the hacienda was being encroached upon by ex-peons and colonists. Alvarado’s business dealings quickly placed El Progreso into debt with mainland banks and Guayaquil businessman Lorenzo Tous.
