Two illustrations from The Regency Reference Book

Sea bathing costume
Regency shower
A sea-bathing costume.
Sea-bathing at the  beach was a popular summer time amusement.

This is an example of one of the early showers used in the homes of the wealthy.
A servant would pour water into the container at the top and a tug of the chain would bring it cascading over the person below.
