This photograph of Hacienda El Progreso was taken in 1888 (or maybe in 1891) during a scientific visit by the "Albatross." It shows workers in front of their houses in the village to the east of the hacienda house. In the background can be seen the cleared landscape with fenced pasturage. The high mountain on the horizon is Cerro San Joaquin.

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."

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.

This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905 during the scientific visit of the California Academy of Sciences. It shows the port official and soldiers stationed on Chatham Island as they pose on board the schooner "Academy." Official occupations on the island included: inspector, warden, guards, postmaster, and lighthouse keeper. Despite their presence, it was observed that government authority was illusory; government representatives did nothing except to demonstrate the existence of governmental representation. Effective power rested in the hands of Manuel J. Cobos,
