Coney Island Bathers 1900's in front of SteepleChase

Check out the old swimsuits in this postcard, obviously from late 1920's. They are already bareing more shoulder, and the length has been shortened, yet they are all still mostly black . Steeple Chase is in the background. It appears to be the new Steeple Chase that was built after the old one burned. The amazing thing is, to see how far these bathers are from the beach, yet the water is not even up to their waists.
