Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

Tidal Toilet (English)

This colonial restroom had a twice-daily, natural flushing system. Incoming tides filled the pit with seawater, and outgoing tides flushed waste out into the bay.
Limpiado por las mareas (Spanish)

Este retrete de la época colonial tenía un sistema de enjuague natural que funcionaba dos veces por día. Las crecientes mareas llenaban la fosa de agua de mar. Las mareas menguantes descargaban las inmundicias hacia la bahía.
