- Description:
- Hacienda El Progreso eventually succumbed to financial ruin. Its assets reverted to Lorenzo Tous of Guayaquil. In the early 1930's Cobos and Alvarado, lost the schooner, the factory, the store and the plantations. Tous had no interest in living there or sending others to administer for him: "Soon the great sugarcane fields and the factory were but a memory." Alvarado managed to regain ownership of the schooner which was later sold to the government. In 1933, Cobos had the house and the coffee plantation successfully returned to him; however, coffee prices fell while freight charges on the schooner increased.

- Description:
- The "Floreana" left Norway in 1925 with a load of cement bound for Ecuador. It reached San Cristóbal in August of that year, where the Norwegian sailors were met by Manuel A. Cobos in his Ford pickup truck. At this time El Progreso continued to produce, with groves, gardens, grazing animals, sugar cane, and a "dilapidated" factory.

- Description:
- An image of a cemetery on the coast in Puerto Chico was published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:129). It is unknown whether this was the Hacienda's principal burial ground. An old cemetery is located near Canon Beach. The modern cemetery is halfway between El Progreso and Puerto Baquerizo-Moreno on the south side of the road.

- Description:
- This is one of the few surviving portraits of Manuel J. Cobos, and is included in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:88) Its origin is unknown, but it was likely taken close to his house, possibly on the promontory to its north side not long before his assassination at the hands of his workers on January 5, 1904.

- Description:
- 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 .

- Description:
- This intact boiler, one of the two preserved examples, provided the necessary steam required to operate the press engine and other processing equipment. The holes on the end plates suggest that the steam was supplied by a system of horizontal return tubular (HRT) fire tube boilers. Each opening was connected by a horizontal tube to its counterpart on the opposite end. Heat was conducted from the externally-fired dutch oven through each tube via a flue on the back end of the combustion chamber. The multiple tubes created a large surface area for heating the surrounding water within the sealed boiler. At least 114 openings can be counted on one intact boiler end. Deerr (1911:404) calculated that a seven foot diameter boiler with 120 tubes can supply 1800 ft² of heating surface.

170. Water Cisterns
- Description:
- A large in-ground water retention basin background), measuring approximately 16x9 m and constructed of thick volcanic rock and marine sand mortar walls over 1 m wide and 2 to 3 m high, dominates the northern end of the mill area. An opening at the bottom of the deepest corner of the basin transferred water into a smaller and deeper adjoining water reservoir (foreground) with a metal tube drain imbedded in its west wall. The smaller reservoir is located close to the stone wall with a tunneled flue connected to the smokestack.
