8. Dasch and his team went to New York City
The four Germans left the beach after the encounter with Cullen, intending to return for their supplies later. From the Amagansett station, they took the Long Island Railroad train to New York. Once in the city, the team split into pairs, in separate hotels. Dasch and Burger checked into the Governor Clinton Hotel near Penn Station. It was the responsibility of the team in New York to sabotage the Hells Gate Bridge, and they also intended to strike the rail of the hydroelectric plant at Niagara and if possible, disrupt the water supply for the city of New York. The wave of bombings was to begin once travel was arranged.
On June 18, under cover of darkness, U-584 surfaced off Ponte Vedra beach near Jacksonville, Florida. The southern landing was accomplished with none of the dramatics of the Long Island affair. Being Florida in June, the group wore bathing suits to go ashore, though to protect themselves from accusations of being spies they wore uniform caps. They too buried the munitions they brought with them. They then went by bus and then train, in two groups, one to New York through Cincinnati, Ohio and the other to Chicago, to begin their mission. They were to arrange for logistics to attack their primary targets, and all eight conspirators were scheduled to meet on July 4 in Cincinnati, to ensure their terror campaign was fully coordinated.
