Hudson Celebration New York celebrates the 350th anniversary of the discovery by Henry Hudson of the great river that bears his name. Units of the second fleet fill the harbor as Vice President Richard Nixon, Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Governor Robert Meyner and Mayor Robert Wagner take part in ceremonies. Aerials, ships move toward Manhattan, past Statue of Liberty. The four politicians seem to be shaking hands simultaneously, all four with hands together. Photographers ready and aim their cameras. Crowd at ceremony. Huge ships.
