British Destroyers Mined

Greetings all.

I know this question is not directly U-boat related, as none of the destroyers I'm about to mention seem to be lost on mines laid by U-boats. But I didn't know where else to ask this, and I know people here have studied WWI minefields and mining incidents extensively, so someone might know. If this is too much off-topic, please lock.

Anyway, I'm interested to know what were the ships that laid the mines that sank these destroyers:

7 May 1915: HMS Maori, off the Belgian coast.

23 December 1917: HMS Surprise, Tornado, and Torrent; off the Dutch coast near the Maas LV

2 August 1918: HMS Ariel and Vehement; in the North Sea off Horns Reef.


(I think I remember reading somewhere that the 23 December 1917 losses were caused by mines laid by German destroyers from Flanders, but I can't be sure)
