The Daily Gate City, Keokuk, Iowa, November 25, 1918
Howard Hughes (24 December 1905 – 5 April 1976) always claimed that he was born on Christmas Eve, although there is little evidence to confirm the actual date.
While he did have a birth certificate prepared in 1941 which states that he was born 24 Dec. 1905 in Harris County, TX, his baptismal record from St. John’s Episcopal Church in Keokuk, IA, dated 7 October 1906, records his date of birth as 24 September 1905.

On 18 August 1927 - the 4th day of its maiden voyage - the S.S. Thorpe arrives at Keokuk, IA.
In 1927 a Minneapolis-St. Paul group formed the Upper Mississippi Barge Line Company to seek extension of the Inland Waterways Service to the upper Mississippi River. The new company raised money and built a fleet of barges and towboats. Three paddlewheel steamboats, including the S.S. Thorpe, were designed by noted naval architect Thomas Rees Tarn and built by the Dubuque Boat and Boiler Works at a cost of $175,000 each (about $2.6 million in today’s value).
The S.S. Thorpe was named after Samuel S. Thorpe, the first president of the Upper Mississippi Barge Line.
On 15 August 1927 the S.S. Thorpe departed from St. Louis with three barges carrying 1600 tons of coal. The S.S. Thorpe was under the command of Captain Oscar Olsen and had a crew of 28.
This maiden voyage was a major turning point in American transportation history for it marked the reopening of the Upper Mississippi River to commercial traffic.
The Thorpe was later renamed the George M. Verity and the sternwheeler became a permanent fixture of Keokuk, when it was brought ashore and turned into a museum at the riverfront in April 1961.
