Fun in the Sun

I just recently read (today, for that matter) that Mahjongg was a wildly popular game in the 1920s. Great to see picture evidence to back up my research! I love the swim caps, too. Thank you, Shorpy.com, for these photos. I especially love the ones from the 20s.

Do the tiles float?

I've never seen a floating game of Mah Jong before! I wonder if the tiles float.
