- Description:
- This print is difficult to verify. It is entitled Viaje Presidencial, Población de San Cristóbal (Chatham), and attributed to C.I. Pazmiño.

45. The schooner Manuel J. Cobos named after Progreso's founder, moored along the jetty in Wreck Bay.
- Description:
- Products were moved between the islands and mainland on two boats, the “Manuel J. Cobos” and “Josefina Cobos.” Both are variously referred to as a sloop (balandra) or pilot’s boat (pailebote), a smaller double masted schooner. Mention is made of seven boats in all, including the 80 ton “Feliz Porvenir.”

46. 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.

47. One Sucre Monetary Note Issued by Hacienda El Progreso in 1905
- Description:
- Hacienda El Progreso issued its own currency. Workers could be paid in local bills and coins or wages could be kept in ledgers. This example, published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:100) is of a registered one sucre note signed by Manuel J. Cobos. The introduction of national coinage and tokens specific to particular businesses was one aspect of mid-19th century modernization.

49. 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).

51. El Progreso Plantation of Rogerio Alvarado, San Cristóbal, Galápagos
- Description:
- This photograph from the Historic Archive of Guayas shows workers harvesting cane. Although the image is dated to between 1900 and 1909, it must have been taken after 1904, and as ownership is attributed to Rogerio Alvarado, it may have been taken in 1909 after he had assumed control.

53. 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.

54. The Wreck Bay pier in 1938
- Description:
- This image was taken during the 1938 visit by the "Valero III" of the Allen Hancock Scientific Expedition. "Wreck Bay is served by an old wooden pier surmounted by a narrow gauge steam railway in the heyday of Rancho El Progreso. Wooden pilings and rough hewn planks [Matazarno] used in its construction are remarkable for their hardines and seeming imperviousness to the ravages of time (Meredith 1939:203)".

55. Chatham Island c. 1930s
- Description:
- This photograph was taken during the visit of the Valero III by the Alan Hancock Pacific Expedition, possibly in 1935. The vegetation in the image suggests that it was taken in the lowlands; however, it is interesting to see the condition of the road leading to the hacienda during the 1930s.

57. 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.

60. Paul Bruun was captain of the Manuel J. Cobos for about 18 months before he started trading with the Norge. The island community was dependent on the old schooner to obtain provisions from the continent. Delays and fuel shortages proved fatal for Bruun, her former skipper. When this photo was taken in 1934, the schooner had been re-named San Cristóbal.
- Description:
- Products were moved between the islands and mainland on two boats, the “Manuel J. Cobos” and “Josefina Cobos.” Both are variously referred to as a sloop (balandra) or pilot’s boat (pailebote), a smaller double masted schooner. The "Manuel J. Cobos" served as the principal means of communication with the mainland.
