Santa Rosalía in 1918
Photo of Santa Rosalia in 1918. From a nice blog article (in Spanish) about León Diguet. The blog contains some neat historic photos.

Pretty interesting. Looks like a precursor to manufactured housing. The photo caption reads:
"What would become the port captain offices, recently disembarked at the port of Santa Rosalía in 1894."

I just discovered it myself. If you can read Spanish, it's a cool history resource with articles on Baja Sur history and more.
But even if you can't, there are cool photos to see, like this one:
Abril 20, 1957
Fishers Hotel Calle Hidalgo en San José Cabo
Propietarios del Hotel: Don Juan Ortíz y Doña Carmen Fisher C.
Fotografía de Howard E. Gulick

Actually, I just noticed that there's a translate button on the side. So it can be read it slightly-strange English.

The Fishers are descendents of whom (everything I have read takes the Fishers back to one person)? Another great piece of history originating in
Santa Rosalia.

Can't imagine trying to make it from Santa Rosalia/Cachania to San Ignacio on foot in those days.

Many thanks for the post. It reminds me of a long ago conversation that we had with Papa Fernandez. He was working at the mine and I think he said
that in 1918 went aboard ship "me embarque" were his words for a trip to San Pedro California to bring timbers for the mine. I don't remember however
how long he worked at the mine.
Regards, Pablo
