30. 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.

Description:: Norwegian colonists arrived on Floreana Island in 1925 and were invited to San Cristobal Island in September 1926. By 1928, only 14 remained in Campo Noruego. This photograph shows their equipment delivered via oxen-drawn cart, the same means of conveyance used by the hacienda to deliver products to its Bodega on the coast at Puerto Chico.

31. A Family of Village Residents in Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: Estimates of of the hacienda's population vary through time, but the relative dearth of women on the island was always noted. Accusations of promiscuity and multiple unions were said to be common, and some observers mentioned that the lack of women was a root cause for conflict between male workers. An 1889 census counted 213 men, 54 women, and 20 children on the island.

32. Hacienda El Progreso Dance Hall

Description:: Days off for workers occurred only three times annually when work would be stopped at two in the afternoon for a dance in the "repugnant" dance hall. Described as a 19m by 5m zinc-roofed hut, it served alcohol for social events which were described as theatres of bloody scenes and grand orgies (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:102)

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). Orginially planning to colonize Floreana, they eventually negotiated with Rogerio Alvarado and Manuel A. Cobos to settle on San Cristóbal.

39. 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.

Description:: 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.

45. 1983 was an extremely wet El Niño year, and two years later Galápagos experienced one of the worst droughts in memory. But Snefrid (82) and Karin (77) on “Pampa Mia” hold their own for they know that the pendulum will soon swing back to normal.

Description:: "Pampa Mia is a little concrete house covered with metal roofing sheets. It is divided into a living room, two bedrooms and a kitchen. Around the house hibiscus and bougainvillea are protected from the chickens and cattle by means of a wire fence....in the Spring of 1985 ... the grass on the pampas was withered and brown. Only hardy guava bushes with their green leaves interrupted the monotonous brown. Snefrid did not know how many head of cattle were still alive. They were scattered over a wide area looking for food and water, making accurate counting impossible. Almost every day they found animals that had recently perished. Maybe 800-900 remained. The previous year they had 1600 animals."

46. Great class distinction, racial prejudice, language problems and religious barriers made communication between Norwegians and local residents difficult in San Cristóbal. Upon their arrival in Galápagos, the Norwegian colonists were quite unprepared for these problems.

Description:: Having attempted to establish a Norwegian colony, The colonists were socially ill-prepared for life on the island. "Many of the colonists regarded non-whites as inferior, especially the mestizos (anyone of mixed native American blood) who were in the majority... such an attitude built greater barriers than all the barbed wire stretched across Campo Noruego. Spanish language, primitive schools, an inferior public health care service, Catholic religion—not even a church they considered worthy enough for baptizing a child ." (Hoff 1985)

47. The romantic Karin revealed herself also as a woman with great willpower. In 1945 she was overwhelmed with marital problems, obligations as a mother of six, and financial difficulties. She and Manuel separated. With the help of the children and their father, she established her own cattle ranch. In 1952 she moved into the first “Pampa Mia” near Progreso.

Description:: During World War II, Cobos worked on Base Baltra. Soon after the birth of her sixth child, Karin Guldberg left Cobos and in 1952 moved into her cattle ranch "Pampa Mia." Eventually the ranch was relocated at 500 m, at the time the highest settlement on the island.

48. The local matazarno tree was excellent for house construction, but trunks of this size are not to be found in Galápagos. Photo is probably of a mainland tree.

Description:: Native Matazarno, a tree or shrub that can grow up to 15 m in height is highly valued for its hard inner wood and preservative properties. It is likely that Matazarno was used from the early years of Galápagos colonization as the main source of timber for construction materials. Various photographs of Hacienda El Progreso taken during the 1888 visit by the USS Albatross show large pieces of Matazarno trunks forming the structures of some plantation facilities, the main house, and parts of the worker’s houses.

49. The view looking towards Wreck Bay shows the rails leading to the pier, and what was for a long time the archipelago's only lighthouse. “Johnson from London” lived in the shack next to the light.

Description:: In 1905, Puerto Chico consisted of a warehouse, plantation manager’s house, a few simple homes, the Wreck Bay light (a lantern atop a lengthy bamboo pole) and the light keeper’s house. Martínez (1915:43) mentions a small guard house, cabin for the ship’s captain, and a vast warehouse for El Progreso’s products.

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

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

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

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

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

44. When Jens Aschehoug and Per Bang visited Galápagos in 1922, the steam-powered sugar factory was in full operation, but decay had set in.

45. 1983 was an extremely wet El Niño year, and two years later Galápagos experienced one of the worst droughts in memory. But Snefrid (82) and Karin (77) on “Pampa Mia” hold their own for they know that the pendulum will soon swing back to normal.

46. Great class distinction, racial prejudice, language problems and religious barriers made communication between Norwegians and local residents difficult in San Cristóbal. Upon their arrival in Galápagos, the Norwegian colonists were quite unprepared for these problems.

48. The local matazarno tree was excellent for house construction, but trunks of this size are not to be found in Galápagos. Photo is probably of a mainland tree.

49. The view looking towards Wreck Bay shows the rails leading to the pier, and what was for a long time the archipelago's only lighthouse. “Johnson from London” lived in the shack next to the light.
