Embarcadero means a “place to embark”. Looking up this information led me to this 1906 documentary, A Trip Down Market Street. Click on the link and travel down the road. Taken from a cable car weeks before the 1906 earthquake. It is amazing to see what traffic was like then.
My friend and I walked down the Embarcadero to Pier 39. Stop for lunch and do more people watching.

Watch out for Gulls!
