54. 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.

55. Monetary Note and Coins 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.

56. 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.

57. 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)".

58. 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.

60. 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.
