The Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a side-wheel
steamboat, sank in April 1850 in
Lake Erie while en route from the
Toledo, Ohio, area to
Buffalo, New York. Out of 93 passengers and crew on board, 38 died. On June 21, 2007, it was announced that the wreck had been discovered by Thomas Kowalczk, an amateur shipwreck hunter.[7]
Major General Anthony Wayne, U.S. Army
tugboat based at Southampton, UK.
Contrary to the popular belief that Bruce Wayne (the real name of the superhero character
Batman) was named after
John Wayne, comic book writer
Bill Finger named Batman's alter ego after
Robert the Bruce and Anthony Wayne.[8] In
DC Comics, Bruce Wayne is depicted as General Anthony Wayne's direct descendant, and on one occasion Bruce Wayne, as Batman, traveled back in time and met Anthony Wayne.[9] Furthermore, the property on which
Wayne Manor is built was given to General Wayne for his service during the Revolution. Rumors that Bruce's middle name is "Anthony" have yet to be confirmed by DC Comics.
Actor
Marion Morrison was initially given the stage name of Anthony Wayne, after the general, by
Fox Studio head
Winfield Sheenan and
Raoul Walsh, who directed The Big Trail (1930), but Fox Studios changed it to
John Wayne instead, saying "Anthony" sounded "too Italian". John Wayne was leading man in 142 of his 153 movies, more than any other actor in history.[10][11]
The 1971 made-for-TV movie Assault on the Wayne, starring
Leonard Nimoy, takes place on board the submarine U.S.S. Anthony Wayne.[12]
In Boardwalk Empire, S3E09, antagonist Gyp Rosetti admires a glass encased colonial hat from, as he says, "Mad Anthony Wayne". Rosetti later steals this hat at the end of the episode and wears it as he watches over his illegal alcohol business.
