bathing machine
A bathing machine is a device, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, that was used at beaches to allow people to change out of their usual clothes and into swimwear while maintaining their privacy. It is a small wooden or canvas hut on wheels that could be drawn into the sea, allowing users to swim in privacy, free from the gaze of the public. This invention was part of the seaside culture in the UK, parts of the US and other countries during those times.

Bathing machine
The bathing machine was a device, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, to allow people to change out of their usual clothes, possibly change into swimwear and then wade in the ocean at beaches. Bathing machines were roofed and walled wooden carts rolled into the sea. Some had solid wooden walls; others had canvas walls over a wooden frame. The bathing machine was part of etiquette for sea-bathing more rigorously enforced upon women than men but to be observed by both sexes among those who wished to be "proper". Especially in Britain, men and women were usually segregated, so nobody of the opposite sex might catch sight of them in their bathing suits, which were not considered proper clothing in which to be seen.
