Word format?

Does this make sense, like the word order?

¿Cuál parte el barco hoy?

Which ship left today? It seems weird to me that I would put the verb after the question phrase.

HI rooky, the idea to put the verb after the interrogative pronoun is correct:

¿Qué has dicho?

¿Cuándo llegaste (tu)?

However, in this case you are using which. Separating this from the noun does not work in English either:

Which/what ship is leaving today?

¿Qué barco sale/parte hoy?
