This view of the worker's quarters in the village of El Progreso was taken some time around 1927 during the Norwegian colonisation. The view is West to East from the original Hacienda house area. Cerro San Joaquin is barely visible in the top left. The surrounding landscape at this time remains relatively open.

This photograph of Hacienda El Progreso was taken in 1888 during a scientific visit by the "Albatross." It shows Manuel J. Cobos standing on the front balcony of the hacienda house. The view is from the Southeast with what appear to be large agave plants in the foreground. To the far right, the faint image of a structure can be seen, possibly the sugar mill area.

This print is difficult to verify. It is entitled Viaje Presidencial, Población de San Cristóbal (Chatham), and attributed to C.I. Pazmiño. It appears to have certain structures that are similar to photos from 1921 and 1947. The view is east-southeast of the village quarters and shows some increased vegetation in the surrounding landscape. This image was used in Repeat Photo #9.

This photograph of Hacienda El Progreso was taken in 1888 during a scientific visit by the "Albatross." It shows the back side and balcony of Manuel J. Cobos' hacienda house. The view may be from the West, and from the side of the sugar mill area, as the image is possibly flipped .

The photograph was taken during the visit of the Hopkins-Stanford Galapagos Expedition between 1898-1899. It must be May 20-28th, 1899, as these were dates they visited Chatham Island. The view is west to east with Cerro San Joaquin in the background and shows the cleared landscape in the distance.

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.”

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.

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.
