Hawaiian Immigration background articles
I found a really neat site about Portuguese Immigration to Hawaii that has a lot of information about what life must have been like (and what the voyage was like) for everyone, including the Spanish:
Child Workers on Hawaiian Plantations
Description of the voyage of the Heliopolis (on which we think the Castro's and Vigallon's (and Sanchez, perhaps?) arrived)
Some more can be found about the Heliopolis and the Spaniards in general in the description of the voyage of the SS Kumeric
Female Workers on Hawaii's Sugar Plantations
Jobs on a Hawaiian Sugar Plantation
The Bango Number System
Male Workers on Hawaiian Sugar Plantations
Register of Ewa Plantation
A picture of the train at Ewa Plantation
Sugar Plantation Work Day and Wages
Example of a Sugar Plantation Contract (original in Portuguese)
Spanish families sailed into new lives
