Parts of a Boat: Essential Components Explained

Boating is an exciting activity that provides a unique blend of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature. Learning the basic parts of a boat and understanding the terminology is vital to mastering navigation and ensuring safety on the water. Boats come in diverse shapes and sizes, from modest rowboats to luxurious yachts, each serving specific purposes and requiring different levels of knowledge.

The anatomy of a boat consists of essential components such as the hull, bow, stern, port, and starboard sides. Knowledge of these parts allows for effective communication and improved maneuverability on the water. Whether you're a novice or an experienced skipper, it's important to understand parts and terminology related to movement, boat equipment, and open deck areas, as well as specific aspects of sailboats and fishing vessels.

Parts of a Boat

Key Takeaways

  • Familiarity with basic boat parts and terminology enhances navigation and safety on the water.
  • Boats come in various forms and sizes, each with specific purposes and features.
  • Understanding the unique aspects of sailboats, fishing boats, and other vessel types ensures an enjoyable and safe boating experience.

Basic Parts of A Boat

The bow refers to the front part of the boat. It is designed to cut through water with minimal resistance, allowing the boat to move smoothly and efficiently. The shape of the bow can vary depending on the boat's intended use, but it is generally narrow and pointed.

The stern is the rear part of the boat. It can have different shapes and features, such as a flat transom or a rounded shape. The stern is where the boat's propulsion system, like an outboard motor or inboard engine, is typically located.

The hull is the primary structure of the boat , providing both support and buoyancy. It is comprised of the boat's outer shell and is designed to withstand a variety of conditions, including waves and impact from abrasion or collisions. Hulls are generally made from materials like fiberglass, aluminum, steel, or wood.

The deck is the flat surface on the boat's top, providing open spaces for passengers and crew. It is often used for recreational activities, such as sunbathing, fishing, or socializing. Decks can be made of various materials, including wood, fiberglass, or metal.

The cabin is the enclosed space within the boat that provides shelter and living accommodations for the passengers and crew. Cabins are usually found on larger boats and can include sleeping quarters, a galley (kitchen), and bathroom facilities.

The keel is the boat's backbone, running longitudinally along the bottom of the hull. It provides structural support and stability. In sailing boats, the keel also serves as a counterweight and assists with lateral resistance when sailing upwind.

The bridge is the command center of larger boats or ships, housing the navigation and control systems. It is typically located near the top of the vessel, providing a clear and unobstructed view for the captain and crew. The bridge contains essential equipment such as radar, GPS, communication devices, and steering controls.

In summary, the basic parts of a boat include the bow, stern, hull, deck, cabin, keel, and bridge. These components work together to ensure a smooth and safe experience for passengers and crew alike.

Position Indicators

The port side of a boat refers to the left side when facing the front or  forward  part of the boat. This is an important position indicator as it helps sailors and passengers ensure they are navigating the waters correctly. The port side is usually marked with red navigation lights to indicate its position in low visibility conditions. The term  aft  refers to the rear part of the boat, which is closest to the port side.

Starboard Side

On the other hand, the starboard side is the right side of the boat when facing forward. It is a crucial position indicator that allows sailors to distinguish their right side from the left side. Starboard side is typically marked with green navigation lights to differentiate it from the port side in low light or foggy situations. During navigation, a boat should ideally pass other boats on its starboard side, which means the other boat should be on its  ahead  and port side. The term  astern  refers to the rear part of the boat, which is closest to the starboard side.

Both port and starboard sides are essential for properly navigating and maneuvering the boat while sailing. Understanding the differences between these position indicators ensures safe and efficient movement at sea. Knowing the forward, aft, astern, and ahead concepts in relation to the port and starboard sides further establishes a solid foundation for any boating enthusiast.

riverboat parts

Terms Related to Movement

The right side of a boat is referred to as the  starboard  side. When a boat is moving forward, this is the side on the right. The term starboard originates from the old nautical term "steorbord" which refers to the side where the steering oar was placed. Most boats today have a green navigational light on the starboard side.

The left side of a boat is called the  port  side. Just as with the starboard side, the port side's name has its origins in nautical terminology. The port side was originally called "larboard," but due to its similarity in pronunciation with starboard, "port" was adopted as the term. Today, boats have a red navigational light on the port side.

Back of a Boat

The back of a boat is known as the  stern . This is the area where the boat's propulsion system, such as the motor or propeller, is usually located. When a boat is  adrift , the stern can be a critical spot for maintaining control and making necessary adjustments to the vessel's movement.

Front of a Boat

The front part of a boat is called the  bow . This is the area that cuts through the water as the boat moves forward. The  waterline  of a boat refers to the point where the hull meets the water's surface; this varies depending on the vessel's load and can impact its movement.

When discussing movement in nautical terms, speed is often measured in  knots , which is equivalent to one nautical mile per hour. Knowing the speed of a boat is important for navigation , fuel consumption, and safety. Sailors must also be aware of the possibility of a boat running  aground , which means the vessel's hull is in contact with the sea floor, often resulting in damage or being stuck in place. A grounded boat can impact vessel trajectory and movement.

Boat Equipment

A cleat is an essential piece of boat equipment used for securing lines. It is a T-shaped or Y-shaped hardware component, commonly made of metal or plastic, that allows for easy tying and untying of ropes or lines. Cleats are crucial for docking, anchoring, and tying boats to other floating devices. They can be attached to the deck, side railings, or the mast base to provide a secure point for lines.

Lines are important for various tasks on a boat, such as mooring, anchoring, or towing. They are typically made of synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, which are durable and resistant to UV radiation, saltwater, and chemicals. When selecting a line for specific tasks, it's essential to consider factors such as strength, stretch, and resistance to abrasion. Among other parts of a boat, lines are often used in conjunction with cleats and fenders to ensure secure docking.

Fenders are cushioning devices used to protect a boat's hull from damage caused by contact with docks, piers, or other boats. They are typically made of soft, flexible materials like foam or inflatable plastic and are designed to absorb impact and distribute pressure. Placed between the boat and the docking area, fenders can prevent potential damage such as scratches, dents, or chipping paint.

A gate on a boat refers to an opening in the railings or lifelines, allowing the crew and passengers more accessible entry or exit. Gates are often found on sailboats and yachts. To ensure safety, they are usually equipped with a latching mechanism or locking device, preventing accidental opening while the boat is underway.

In addition to the above-listed components, some other crucial boat parts include:

  • Outboard Motor : A detachable engine unit mounted on the stern (rear) of the boat, providing propulsion. Outboard motors are typically self-contained, housing the engine, gearbox, and propeller in one unit.
  • Anchor : A weighted, hook-like device that secures boats to the seabed or riverbed, preventing them from drifting due to wind or currents. It is connected to the boat by an anchor line or chain.
  • Helm : The steering control area, typically consisting of a wheel or tiller, which allows the operator to maneuver the boat.
  • Propeller : A rotating fan-like device connected to the boat's engine, responsible for generating thrust and propelling the boat forward or backward.
  • Mast : A tall, vertical pole on a sailboat that supports the sails and rigging.
  • Rudder : A flat, vertical panel, usually mounted beneath the boat's stern, which helps steer the boat when turned by the helm.

Boat equipment plays a crucial role in operating and maintaining a vessel safely and efficiently. Ensuring that these components are in good condition and used properly is essential for a successful boating experience.

Open Deck Areas

Open deck areas on a boat serve various purposes and often host different types of equipment, providing both functionality and comfort to the passengers. This section will discuss three subsections, focusing on the galley, rod holder, and throttle.

The  galley  is an essential part of any boat with an open deck area, similar to a kitchen found on land. It often includes facilities for cooking, refrigeration, storage, and meal preparation. A well-designed galley allows passengers to prepare meals while enjoying the outdoor surroundings. Located near the  bulkhead , it provides easy access to other deck areas like the  bridge  and  cockpit .

A  rod holder  is a crucial piece of equipment for recreational boating, especially for those who enjoy fishing. It securely holds fishing rods in place and allows anglers to fish hands-free, increasing safety and convenience. Rod holders are typically located near the boat's  casting deck  and  pulpit , offering easy access while fishing. It is essential to ensure that rod holders stay clear of the boat's  swim platform  to minimize accidents or obstructions.

The  throttle  controls the boat's speed and is a vital component that falls under open deck areas. Located in the  cockpit  or near the boat's  bridge , the throttle allows the operator to control the boat's engine power and steer it safely. A smooth and responsive throttle is essential for safe and enjoyable boating experiences.

In conclusion, open deck areas of a boat include essential facilities and equipment that provide comfort, functionality, and entertainment for passengers. Understanding the role and location of the galley, rod holder, and throttle can significantly enhance the overall boating experience.

Sailboat Specifics

Sailboats are designed with various distinctive parts that contribute to their unique sailing capabilities. This section will discuss three specific components of a sailboat: the Ballast, Forestay, and Centerboard.

The ballast is an essential element in a sailboat's stability. It is typically found at the bottom of the boat and is responsible for providing a low center of gravity, counteracting the heeling force induced by the sails' wind pressure. The ballast is often made of dense materials like lead or iron and accounts for a significant portion of the boat's overall weight. A well-designed ballast ensures that the sailboat maintains its balance and returns to an upright position after being heeled by the wind.

The forestay is a vital part of the sailboat's rigging, as it secures the mast's forward end. This cable or rod connects the bow (front) of the boat to the top of the mast, providing support and tension to the mast and helping maintain its shape. The forestay is also crucial for attaching the jib, a smaller triangular sail set forward of the mainsail. The jib can improve the boat's overall performance , allowing it to point more effectively into the wind and increasing maneuverability.

Centerboard

A centerboard is a movable fin located at the sailboat's bottom middle portion, allowing the boat to change its draft (submerged depth) and optimize its performance. The primary functions of a centerboard are to combat leeway, generating lift under the boat and preventing it from being pushed sideways by the wind, and to help control the sailboat's balance.

The centerboard can be raised or lowered as needed, providing the desired level of stability and maneuverability. It can be retracted entirely to allow the sailboat to move through shallow waters or for transportation purposes. Thus, the centerboard is an essential factor in a sailboat's flexibility and adaptability.

In summary, the ballast, forestay, and centerboard are crucial components of a sailboat that contribute to its stability, rigging, and overall sailing performance. These parts work together, enabling sailboats to harness wind power effectively and provide an enjoyable sailing experience.

Boating Terminology

When it comes to boating, understanding the terminology can be crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. This section aims to provide you with a clear and concise explanation of some essential boating terms.

The rail is an essential part of a boat, serving as a safety barrier and also adding stability. It is located along the outer edge of a boat's deck, ensuring that passengers do not accidentally fall overboard. Typically, the rail is made of durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, to withstand harsh marine conditions.

A hatch refers to a door or opening that provides access to different sections of a vessel. It can be found on both the exterior and interior of a boat. Hatches serve various purposes, such as ventilation, emergency escape routes, and access to storage compartments. They are typically designed with watertight seals to prevent water from seeping in and damaging the vessel's interiors or essential equipment.

In boating terminology, a bulkhead refers to a structural partition that separates different compartments within a ship. Bulkheads are vital for the vessel's stability and play a crucial role in maintaining its integrity and balance while at sea. Additionally, they also provide a degree of fire protection, as they can act as a barrier between sections of the boat in case of a fire breakout.

A livewell is a specialized compartment on a fishing boat that serves to keep bait and caught fish alive while onboard. This container is filled with water, and usually has an aeration system to maintain oxygen levels and ensure the wellbeing of the fish. Livewells are essential for anglers who participate in catch-and-release fishing or need to keep their catches fresh until they return to shore.

By understanding these essential boating terms, one can navigate vessels more effectively and safely, and fully appreciate the complexities of ships and boats.

Other Key Aspects

The bilge is a crucial part of a boat located at the lowest point of the hull, responsible for collecting any water or oil that may accumulate inside the vessel. It is important to have a functional bilge pump in place to ensure the boat remains safe and seaworthy. The beam of the boat plays a role in determining how much water the bilge can handle. A wider beam allows for more water storage capacity and makes it more stable.

The draft of a boat refers to the depth of water needed for it to float freely without touching the bottom. This measurement plays a significant role in deciding where a boat can travel, as some areas may not be navigable due to shallow waters. The draft directly relates to the boat's design, including the freeboard and hull shape. A larger draft may lead to a more stable vessel in rough waters, while a smaller draft benefits boats navigating shallow areas.

The head is the maritime term for the boat's toilet. It is an essential component on any vessel equipped for overnight trips or extended cruises. Proper maintenance of the head and its plumbing system is crucial for sanitation and ensuring a pleasant experience for passengers onboard. Some larger boats may feature more sophisticated systems, including separate shower areas or pump-out systems.

The doors on a boat differ from those found on land; they need to be watertight, designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, and must not compromise the overall integrity of the vessel. The material used for the door construction varies, often including high-quality stainless steel or aluminum. In some cases, doors may be equipped with air-tight seals and locking mechanisms to prevent water ingress during rough seas.

In conclusion, understanding key aspects such as the bilge, draft, head, and doors is essential for boat owners and enthusiasts. Considering other elements like beam, freeboard, transom, and gunwale will provide further insight into the boat's stability, navigation capabilities, and overall design.

Fishing Boat Essentials

When it comes to enjoying a day on the water, having the right essentials on your fishing boat can make all the difference. This section covers some of the must-have components for a successful fishing trip: the Tiller, Bimini, and Console.

The tiller is an essential part of any fishing boat, as it is used to steer the vessel. It is typically attached to the boat's outboard motor or rudder and allows the operator to control the direction of the boat. A tiller provides excellent maneuverability and is ideal for navigating tight spaces and shallow waters, which are often found in prime fishing spots. In addition, many fishing boats come equipped with  rod holders , just behind the tiller, making it easy for anglers to keep their fishing gear within reach.

A bimini is a type of canopy that provides shade and protection from the elements while on the water. It is especially useful for anglers who spend long hours exposed to the sun and elements. A bimini can be easily installed on most fishing boats and can usually be folded down when not in use. It also adds an extra layer of comfort and protection for those on board.

For added convenience, some biminis have built-in rod holders, allowing anglers to secure their fishing rods while taking a break from casting. A good bimini can make the difference between an enjoyable day on the water and an endurance test against the elements.

The console is the control center of the fishing boat, housing essential instruments and controls needed for navigation, communication, and boat operation. Located near the steering wheel, the console should contain the necessary equipment such as a GPS system, VHF radio, and depth finder to aid anglers in their fishing expeditions.

A well-designed console also provides space for mounting additional tools and storage, such as a  livewell . Livewells are valuable components for keeping bait and caught fish alive and in optimal condition until the angler is ready to return to the shore. There should also be dedicated spots for storing extra fishing equipment, such as tackle boxes and spare rods.

In summary, having a well-equipped fishing boat with essential components like the tiller, bimini, and console will make for a more enjoyable and efficient angling experience. These crucial parts ensure that the angler is ready for whatever challenges the water may bring, allowing them to focus on the main task at hand: catching fish.

Why Historic Mississippi Riverboats Continue To Be A Beloved Pastime In The South

Bon voyage!

riverboat parts

The Mississippi River has long been a character all its own in the South, brought to life by the words of Southern writers and musicians, as well as through those who have traveled it. The river runs over 2,300 miles and spans 10 states, with a popular stretch running from Memphis to New Orleans. During the early 1800s, steamboats began running up and down the mighty Mississippi, offering a new kind of access to all the towns and ports in between.

The History of Riverboat Cruises on the Mississippi

What started as a shipping venture became a pastime for people to explore the South. The river offered a peek into the culture of the places it flows through. You could explore the roots of jazz, blues, and country, as well as the small towns of the pre- and post-Civil War eras. The many ports-of-call offer the ability to tour and experience a sliver of the South, each with a different view into the area's history. For good or bad, the Mississippi knows the South better than anything else, and the riverboat has always acted as a translator.

Following the first legendary steamboats, such as the Natchez , the industry boomed with thousands of riverboat cruises. Now, you won't find near as many boats floating the Mississippi River, looking like tiered white wedding cakes adorned with red trim.

What Cruise Experiences Are Still Offered Today

The use of the steamboat, which can only run at a speed of around 15 miles-per-hour, has given way for more modern and efficient boat travel. However, there are still day cruises, casino cruises, and even multi-day experience cruises that pay homage to the historic custom.

The tradition continues to survive in the South with a timely point-of-view. American Queen Voyages recently marked its 10th season on the Mississippi River with new experiences (such as events with chef and biscuit queen, Regina Charboneau) on its flagship paddlewheeler, American Queen . Its Lower Mississippi River itineraries have included nine-day journeys that sail between Memphis and New Orleans, with ports-of-call in Vicksburg , Natchez, St. Francisville, Baton Rouge, and more. Additional riverboat options that remain on the Mississippi River include American Cruise Lines and Viking River Cruises , amongst others.

While the historic view of the river might appear differently than a hundred years ago, a ride on a Mississippi riverboat still feels like a step back in time.

' class=

we need to board the Viking cruse ship about 3pm, advice on getting transport to the Riverboat station would be appreciated and also time to get there, probably travel by taxi

' class=

Taxi will work. Just search the forum for advice on what taxi to book. My personal favorite would be Gettaxi. If you are Uber user it works too. You can also arrange a taxi through your hotel but it's likely to wind up 2-3 times the going price. Never hurts to ask for a quote though.

riverboat parts

At that time of day with traffic you should allow a good two hours to get from Radisson Royal Hotel to the Northern Riverboat Station. Taxi should cost about 1200-1500 rubles (about 800-1000 rubles with Gettaxi). At least double those prices if you use a taxi called by the hotel concierge.

> At that time of day with traffic you should allow a good two hours

What if it's Sunday? I wouldn't be so pessimistic even on a weekday.

riverboat parts

Which Airport do you arrive? If Domodedovo, your plan is OK, if Sheremetyevo - you will be making a double trip, as road from Sheremetyevo to city center actually passes Nothern river port. As you have not noo much time - I'd not do to the center. Any hotel at Sheremetyevo, or someng on the way, like Hilton Marina (right near your port), or Aeropolis or Aerostar would save at least an hour of your sleep. Enjoy!

Tornadoes kill at least 3 in Ohio as storms leave trail of destruction in Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas

Updated on: March 15, 2024 / 9:51 PM EDT / CBS/AP

A tornado killed at least three people in western Ohio on Thursday night, authorities said, part of a storm system that also unleashed apparent twisters in parts of Indiana ,  Kentucky  and Arkansas  that injured dozens and left tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power.

Indian Lake, Ohio, hit by tornado

The Indian Lake area in Ohio's Logan County, northwest of Columbus, appeared to be the worst hit. At least three people were confirmed dead, according to the Logan County Sheriff's Office. 

Logan County spokesperson Sheri Timmers told CBS News there were multiple injuries, adding that an RV park was among the areas impacted. Multiple buildings in the Indian Lake area were damaged, Timmers said.

Mary Rutan Health Center, located in the Logan County city of Bellefontaine, confirmed to CBS News that as of Friday afternoon it was treating 26 patients injured in the tornadoes.

The aftermath of a severe storm is seen in Lakeview, Ohio, March 15, 2024.

Search crews went into neighborhoods that had been blocked by gas leaks and fallen trees overnight and made a second pass in areas that were checked in the darkness right after the storm, Sheriff Randy Dodds said.

"It's going to take a long time," he said, adding he wasn't aware of anybody unaccounted for.

The National Weather Service confirmed an EF2 tornado had struck near Orchard Island in Logan County. The Enhanced Fujita scale  ranks tornadoes  from EF0 to EF5, based on estimated wind speeds and damage.

Chief Deputy Joe Kopus of the sheriff's office said there was heavy damage in Lakeview, Midway, Orchard Island and Russells Point.

"It is just devastating. I mean, you see it happen to other people, you finally get to comprehend what this means," Carla Morris, owner of CJ's Lakeside Tavern in Lakeview, told CBS News.

Lakeview resident Robin Holmes told CBS News he somehow survived the storm in his living room.

"We are very lucky, because all around, it just tore everything up," Holmes said. 

Photos  posted  to social media also showed the extensive residential damage in Indian Lake.  

Amber Fagan, president and chief executive of the Indian Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, said the village of Lakeview was "completely demolished," adding that homes, campgrounds and a laundromat were hit hard. "There's places burning," she said. "There's power lines through people's windows."

A shelter was opened for anyone displaced. Many of the homes in the area are used as summer cottages by people who come for fishing and boating.

"This is going to be a long-term recovery for our community," Logan County Commissioner Joe Antram said in a news briefing Friday.

In Ohio's Huron County, emergency management officials posted on Facebook that there was a "confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado" near Plymouth, some 75 miles northeast of Indian Lake. It damaged homes and toppled trees, officials said, but no deaths or injuries were reported.

Indiana hit hard

At about the same time the tornado hit the Indian Lake area, another one tore through Winchester, Indiana, some 75 miles to the west. 

Winchester Mayor Bob McCoy said some 130 homes were damaged or destroyed in the area. The tornado damaged a Walmart store and a Taco Bell in Winchester, Randolph County Sheriff Art Moystner  told CBS Indianapolis affiliate WTTV . Travel throughout the county was restricted to emergency management workers only, he said.  

A National Weather Service survey team later confirmed  the tornado with a preliminary damage rating of EF3.

"There have been many, many significant injuries, but I don't know the number. I don't know where they are. I don't know what those injuries are," Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas Carter told reporters just before midnight Thursday. "There's a lot that we don't know yet."

State police said earlier in the night that they were investigating reports of deaths but Carter said at the news conference there were "no known fatalities."

In a social media post early Friday morning, the Randolph County Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency reported that there were at least 38 people injured in the tornado that struck Winchester, 12 of whom required hospitalization. The agency also said there had been no confirmed fatalities.  

State officials called on Indiana Task Force One to help with search efforts in Winchester, a town of 4,700 people nearly 70 miles northeast of Indianapolis, according to a post by the rescue team on social media. The team is one of 28 Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency-sponsored Urban Search and Rescue teams in the United States.

"I'm shaken; it's overwhelming," McCoy said. "I heard what sounded like a train and then I started hearing sirens."

He and his wife were hunkered in a closet during the twister, which hit at about 8 p.m. "I've never heard that sound before; I don't want to hear it again," McCoy said.

winchester-indiana-tornado-031424.jpg

Winchester resident Brooks Burelison said he took shelter with his mother and sister just in time.

"By the time I got home, 20 seconds from me being in the garage, I jumped in the cellar, and then all of a sudden it was over us, and then eight seconds later, it was gone," Burelison told CBS News.  

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb posted on Facebook Thursday night, "Severe weather has impacted Hoosiers all across the state, and we have emergency response personnel in the impacted areas."

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security posted on Facebook that their staff were on scene in Randolph County, home to Winchester, working with locals, and that the State Emergency Operations Center was activated with an enhanced staffing level to respond to the storm.

A Facebook post on the Winchester Community High School page said all the schools in the district would be closed Friday. Another post said the high school had electricity and was open for emergency use for people who "need somewhere warm and dry."

To the west of Winchester in Delaware County, Indiana, emergency management officials said initial assessments suggested that up to half the structures in the small town of Selma were damaged by a possible tornado.

"We are relieved to report that only minor injuries have been reported thus far, with one individual transported to the hospital for treatment," the Delaware County Emergency Management Agency said in a news release. About 750 people live in Selma.

Earlier, storms damaged homes and trailers in the Ohio River communities of Hanover and Lamb in Indiana.

Jefferson County, Indiana Sheriff Ben Flint said storms destroyed three or four single-family homes and four or five other structures and demolished several uninhabited campers along the river.

"We were fortunate that no one was injured," Flint told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Multiple suspected tornadoes leave trail of damage across Midwest

Gayle Liter and his wife told CBS affiliate WLKY-TV that their Hanover home, which they had just moved into about three months ago, was destroyed by the tornado. "Total destruction, the inside, everything," Liter said. 

Sgt. Stephen Wheeles of the Indiana State Police said earlier that another suspected tornado struck Jefferson County, damaging several homes and downing trees and power lines.

He posted photos on social media showing one home with its roof torn off and another missing roof shingles as well as an image of a baseball-sized hailstone.

Kentucky, Arkansas also impacted

In Milton, Kentucky, two people were injured when their car was hit by debris from a tornado that damaged as many as 100 homes and businesses, said Trimble County Emergency Management Director Andrew Stark.

"We have a whole bunch of damage," Stark told the Courier Journal of Louisville.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear issued a statement saying a tornado touched down along the Indiana state border in Gallatin and Trimble counties and there were reports of a couple of minor injuries.

"It does appear that there is some really significant damage, especially to the town of Milton in Trimble County," Beshear said. "We think there are over 100 structures that are potentially damaged."

The state's emergency operations center was activated to coordinate storm response, Beshear said.

In Arkansas, a probable tornado struck the retirement community of Hot Springs Village, about 40 miles southwest of Little Rock, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Erik Green.

Baseball-sized hail also fell and some buildings were destroyed, but there were no reports of fatalities or injuries, Green said.

Large pieces of hail also was reported in parts of the St. Louis area Thursday afternoon.

There were unconfirmed reports of tornadoes in Jefferson County, Missouri, and Monroe County, Illinois, but no immediate reports of damage.

Doubleheader for SpaceX! Where to watch rocket launches in Sebastian, Vero Beach

A pair of SpaceX rocket launches are scheduled this week, and it's the perfect way to kick off the weekend!

NASA announced the upcoming CRS-30 mission  — where a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Dragon cargo spacecraft carrying science experiments, supplies and equipment to the International Space Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 4:55 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 21.

That rocket will lift off from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Afterward, the first-stage booster will produce sonic booms in Brevard County by targeting a landing at the military installation.

A day later, SpaceX  will potentially deliver a batch of Starlink internet satellites. Launch window is from 7:55 p.m. EST Friday, March 22, to 12:26 a.m. Saturday, March 23.

Both rocket launch times occur in the late afternoon to evening — when Florida spring weather boasts cooler temperatures and slightly breezy conditions. The “where to watch a rocket launch” guide below features many beach spots.

If you missed the March 15 launch, which was Florida's 17th so far this year  from Kennedy Space Center and neighboring Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, it was a beautiful sight . And if it seems like there have been a lot of SpaceX rocket launches  lately, there have. After 13 rockets lifted off  through the end of February , officials have projected the 2024 total could reach  an unprecedented 111 launches — led by SpaceX.  The company's Starlink internet-satellite constellation missions comprise the bulk of the Cape's launch total.

Here's info about the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch on Thursday, March 22, which could be visible from parts of the Treasure Coast (see below for our recommendations on how to watch the rocket launches and where to go).

The NASA CRS-30 rocket launch mission and the SpaceX Starlink launches are mentioned in  USA TODAY Network's rocket launch calendar  for the month, which is updated frequently. (Check that link often for rocket launch times and dates because they are routinely subject to change for a variety of reasons.) FLORIDA TODAY, a USA TODAY Network-Florida newspaper, provides interactive launch coverage at  floridatoday.com/space  with frequent updates on launches at least 90 minutes in advance, sometimes longer, depending on the mission. For questions or comments, email  Space Reporter Rick Neale  at [email protected] or tweet him  @rickneale1  on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter.
