The parade ended at the town hall, where Mayor Jimmy Walker presented Sir Hubert with the keys to the city. In the following years many of Sir Hubert's expeditions either commenced or finished in New York.
Here Jeff Maynard and Peter Falk film the apartment where Sir Hubert lived. His submarine, the Nautilus, was modified and christened in New York before its expedition to the North Pole. He was invited to travel on the the Graf Zepplin around the world flight which began its journey in New York. He kept an apartment in New York City and became a member of the New York Explorer's Club. As part of the "Search for Sir Hubert" the crew visited 'the Big Apple' to film specific sites.
