26. 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.

Description:
The 14 prefabricated houses of Campo Noruega were shipped to San Cristóbal by boat. Through negotiations with Manuel A. Cobos and Rogerio Alvarado, each Norwegian settler received 20 ha of land, free rent for two years, commissary credit, and cheap access to labor and draught animals.

29. Hacienda House, View from La Cárcel, in 2014

Description:
La Cárcel's main entrance faces the street, passing through a 6 cm. thick concrete and sand wall buttressed by regularly-spaced upright wooden (matazarnos) beams supporting the upper floor joists. The interior wall surfaces show that the exterior concrete face was backed by horizontal lathes of bamboo and reinforced with barbed wire. The upper story was accessed by a staircase resting atop a squared base across from a secondary door opening on the structure’s east side. A number of vertical openings served as windows for the second story, whose floor, having been described as constructed of cement and lime, may have survived until recently.

30. 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."
