Halo Jones : A Renamed 2½ Tonner ? 
Halo Jones is for sale (December 2019). I first become aware of her in 2016, my curiosity aroused because she's not on the 'known boats' list. So she's either a boat that's remained 'below the radar' since being built in 1950, or a renamed 'known boat'.
The Ballad of Halo Jones is a science fiction comic strip which first appeared in 1984 in the weekly British comic 2000 AD. This rather suggests Halo Jones was renamed after 1984. I did emailed the broker to see if the suspected previous name coukd be revealed, but they didn't know either. So, a small puzzle for the reader to solve !
