There were thousands of ships sunk by U-boats in WWI. Some of the smallest just disappeared and were never recorded as why they were lost. So did some of the biggest. For example the American Naval Collier Cyclops disappeared some where in Bermuda Triangle with all hands. A U-boat is one theory though none recorded an attack. Sunken ships that disappeared in both World Wars are still turning up. Right now what you asked is an impossible task. So just forget it.

"President Wilson had been spurred into action by the sinking of the British passenger ship 'Sussex' while it was in the English channel; several U.S. citizens died as a result."

President Wilson then sent an ultimatum to the German government on April 18, 1916 - 'U.S. Ultimatum Regarding Unrestricted U-Boat Warfare.'

Other ships sunk by the Germans during 1917 - 1918

U.S.S. Housatonic
S.S. Algonquin
City of Memphis
Illinois
Vigilancia
Healdton

There are many, many more - see the link below:
