The Glaslyn was lost in 1865, but Jones went on to acquire steamships. The company ceased operations in 1924. Llong bren oedd y GLASLYN oedd yn pwyso 763 tunnell gros, a chafodd ei hadeiladu ym 1873 neu 1876 gan gwmni Pembroke Dock Co-operative Shipbuilding Ltd. ar gyfer Evan Jones & Co., Caerdydd. Brodor o Afonwen, Gwynedd, oedd Jones, ac roedd yn berchennog llongau ym Mhorthmadog cyn symud i Gaerdydd tua 1865. Erbyn 1880, roedd yn berchen ar dair llong sylweddol, gan gynnwys y Glaslyn.
