George M. Verity, Museum ship in Keokuk, United States
The George M. Verity, a steam-powered paddle wheel vessel with a steel hull, stands permanently docked at Victory Park along the Mississippi River.
Built in 1927 in Dubuque as S.S. Thorpe, this paddle boat enhanced river transport between St. Louis and St. Paul until its retirement in 1960.
The vessel exhibits demonstrate the evolution of river commerce and navigation techniques that shaped transportation along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
Located at 200 Mississippi Drive, the museum operates daily from April through November, offering visitors access to engine rooms and captain quarters.
The steel-hulled pusher boat remains one of the few preserved examples of early 20th-century river transportation vessels in the United States.
