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,

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.
