Just thought I'd share.
Melbourne, Australia was originally named "Batmania" because the city founder was John Batman.

I spotted the story on a documentary about poker players and the lead checked out.

In British lingo, a batman is a sort of military butler for an army officer.

capt shreve was hired by the feds to clear the river of a log jam for the purposes of navigation and opening the country to trade.
He built the log moving boat in WV and brought it down the Ohio.
