The closer you are to the center of balance of a ship, the less
motion there will be.
So at the waterline and in the center (measured fore and aft AND side
to side) would have the least movement. In a sailboat that would be
at the bottom of the mast. You wouldn't have a window though.
If the ship is rocking from one side to the other, the middle will
rock the least and the edges go up and down the most.
If the ship is pitching (the bow crashing into the waves), then the
best place to be is the middle measured from bow to stern. As the bow
goes up, the stern goes down and v.v. The middle moves the least.
Like a see-saw. The middle is the balance point.
The worst place to be would be up high on the corner of the stern
IMHO. At the end of the fore and aft movement and also at the end of
the side to side movement, and the highest above the water.
The best place is the inside cabins down in the middle of the ship - -
the cheapest ones.
