Springfield was said to be the most common town name in the United States of America, with 37 cities by that name (and many more with variations of that name, such as "Springfield Crossing" or "Springfield Plantation") in over thirty states.

The ship's captain was named after the sixth movie's art department construction coordinator Richard J. Bayard.
