The Embarcadero did not exist at the water's edge until the late 19th Century. Wharves reached out, some for more than a thousand feet from the historic shoreline that was gradually filled and extended to create the roadway landscape that you see today. San Francisco's evolving waterfront history is told through stories, poetry and images on tall, black and white pylons, bronze plaques embedded in the sidewalks, and porcelain panels mounted on concrete podia.
