Tristan Jones

Who was Tristan Jones?

Arthur Jones, pen name Tristan Jones was an English author and mariner who wrote numerous books and articles, many in the first person, about sailing. His stories tended to be a combination of both fact and fiction in the tradition of Welsh story tellers and it has often been difficult to tell these apart. Indeed, he was a consummate story-teller, but as far as his account of his naval service in WWII in particular goes, any old salt would have regarded him, at best, as a 'rum gagger'.
