Note: Greenleaf refers (pp. 228-229) to an "a short article for _The Journal of American Folk-Lore_" that she wrote, comparing "The Ghostly Crew" with Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The cumulative index to the Journal, covering the years 1888 to 1987, shows that she did not publish anything in it. If the short article ever appeared, it was in some other publication.

The web site _MacEdward Leach and the Songs of Atlantic Canada_ has two previously unpublished versions of "The Ghostly Crew" collected by Leach in Newfoundland:
        "Twelve Ghostly Fishermen," sung by Morris Houlihan, is available at:

        and at:
