In September 1923, the Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego
celebrated the 30th anniversary of its foundation. The Company
commissioned Andrés Ribas (editor of the newspaper "El
Natales") to produce a photographic record of its regional
operations. This "Album Última Esperanza" includes many
of the personnel, from shepherd to general manager. The management
cadre was predominantly "anglo"; local nationals were
represented in some positions of responsibility at the lower levels.
The following names sound "British", and the majority
undoubtedly were so.
