The four lifeboats were tied together in pairs, and the work of unloading the 14 prefabricated houses could begin.

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.

Two of the original Campo Noruega houses were later reassembled as one large house.

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.

The village of Progreso is 300 meters above sea-level on Isla San Cristóbal. In the mid-1920s it had about 300 inhabitants.

The schooner Manuel J. Cobos named after Progreso's founder, moored along the jetty in Wreck Bay.

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

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

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