Tristan Jones

Arthur Jones, pen name Tristan Jones (Liverpool, 8 May 1929 – 21 June 1995) 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 consumate 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'.
