Summary
Bentley’s public catalogue identifies the second side of AFC SR081 (original disc 4-11) as John W. Green, “The Beaver Brig,” recorded at Beaver Island in 1940.
Cross-collection title evidence
The Library of Congress 1938 Lomax collection separately contains catalog title “The Beaver brig” and an item headed “Beaver Brig; Rousy Maggie.” The shared or near-shared title makes the records useful for discovery across collections, but does not establish a shared tune, text, performance, recording session, or transmission history.
Evidence and limits
The catalogue label is a source-bounded association with the existing John W. Green record. It does not by itself resolve the catalogued name to that person, verify the audio’s contents, or establish an Irish or maritime meaning for the selection beyond the title and collection context.
