The new (v5) google earth has the option to view the position of shipwrecks, along with the reason of sinking and sometimes little information about the wreck.
it has an impressive database of U-boot wrecks positioning, untill now i've found nearly 200.

Thanks for the heads up, looks pretty interesting. I used to have the map of the ww2 ships sunk by u-boats from uboat.net.

edit. Do I need to install Google Chrome to use it? Hrmm...

nope, but you'll need to download the Google Earth application tho. http://earth.google.com/
