Embarcadero Shoreline Historical Marker
I walk this line every time I want to remind myself what San Francisco actually is. The Financial District, the Embarcadero, everything east of the line — landfill built over abandoned
A painted ground marker near Howard Street and the Embarcadero indicating the original 1849 shoreline. Everything east of this line is landfill built on abandoned Gold Rush ships.
