<HTML>Les,
Unfortunately, I have never seen such a list as useful as it would be for historical purposes. (The reality is that wreck discoveries don't make it into naval history books.)
An incomplete list of WWI wrecks found includes:
UB 30, UB 115, UB 107, UC 32, UC 70, UC 47, UC 39, and UC 75 off the English East Coast
UB 116, U 77, U 18, and UC 41 off Scotland
UB 61 North Sea, sort of off Germany
U 11, U 37, UB 4, UB 13, UC6 (sort of), UC 10, UC 14, UB 20, UB 35, UC 26, UC 62, UC 79, plus at least six unidentified in the Belgium/Dover area
UC 51, UC 65, UB 37, UB 72, UB 74, UB 81 English Channel
UC 42 off Ireland
raised (during war or after): UB 45, UB 46 (both Black Sea), UB 110 (English east coast), UC 44 (off Ireland), U 76 (off Norway), UC 2,
There probably are others - these are the ones I am certain about. Information about u-boat discoveries does not necessary spread quickly.
Hope this helps,
