I already compiled a list of all U-boat mining operations for later use in the patrol section of uboat.net, but this is not ready for publication yet. However, here is a list of mine operations carried out by U-boats off North America from north to south:
off St. Johns: 66 mines by U-220 on 9 Oct, 1943
off Halifax: 66 mines by U-119 on 1 Jun, 1943
off Boston: 6 mines by U-87 on 12 Jun, 1942
off New York: 10 mines by U-608 on 10 Nov, 1942
Delaware Bay: 15 mines by U-373 on 11 Jun, 1942
Chesapeake Bay: 8 mines by U-230 on 29 Jul, 1943
off Cape Henry: 15 mines by U-701 on 11 Jun, 1942
off Virginia Beach: 12 mines by U-69 on 10 Sep, 1942
off Charleston: 12 mines by U-455 on 18/19 Sep, 1942
off Charleston: 12 mines by U-107 on 27 Aug, 1943
