GR translation: pitched out over the sea of ruins

[Laura Kelber]

Given that he compares the rooms to prows and crow's nests, this definition
seems most likely:

(of a moving ship, aircraft, or vehicle) rock or oscillate around a lateral
axis, so that the front and back move up and down.
"the little steamer pressed on, pitching gently"

So the rooms, unsupported by walls, are swaying above the ruins.
