Was a French merchant who engaged in the California sea trade during the years preceding American occupation of that Mexican province in 1846. He was also known in California as José Limantour.Limantour Beach bears his name because he wrecked his schooner, the Ayacucho, on Point Reyes in October 1841.[2] Although much of the cargo was saved, Limantour was stranded in California with no means of transport. During his time in northern California, Limantour sold his cargo for cash and credit to the local elite, but the value of the Ayucucho’s cargo far exceeded the local capacity for purchase. General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, Commander General of California, was a major exception and he owned Rancho Suscol in Sonoma with plenty of cattle. Gale and company wanted cattle, and Limantour wanted the schooner. In a three way deal, Vallejo purchased the Star of Oregon for 350 cows, and then transferred ownership to Limantour.
