For those who don't know, those shack-things were rolled up to the waters edge, and proper ladies would enter from the beach side. They would change there, and exit out by the water, in perfect modesty. I forget the name of them.

The name in spanish of the "bathing machines" is "caseta de baños": "little house for baths". This is a photo of the famous "Playa de la Concha" "Beach of La Concha", in San sebastian. At the end it could see the Igeldo Mountain an the Santa Clara Island

This looks like a "bathing machine". The Victorian devices permitted individual to change into bathing attire and then enter the water without stepping on the beach or being observed.

I was once in St. Sabastien, or San Sabastino. Beautiful--hills and ocean.

That's another one of those little houses that went down to the water's edge, so the ladies could change & enter the water in modesty. Only this one is for Royalty!! I could LIVE in that comfortably, I think-

This is one of the MOST unique pics I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. How unique, how interesting, how beautyful this would have been in color. I'd look at it as a dream home. Wow! to be sitting on the front porch while your house moves to the waterfront then when the tide comes in you back away from the ocean. I would only wish the gods produce such a place to live in!
