While looking for ships sunk off the North Carolina coast during World War II, I was surprised to see some sunk during World War I, and credited to the U-151.
June 5th: HARPATHIAN, freighter, torpedoed and sunk by U-151..
June 5th: VINLAND, freighter, boarded and scuttled by U-151.
June 8th: VINDEGGEN, freighter, boarded and scuttled by U-151.
June 9th: PINER DEL RIO, freighter, shelled and sunk by U-151
June 10th: HEINRICH LUND, freighter, shelled and sunk by U-151
I imagine the U-151 was either getting low on torpedoes or out of them toward the end which would explain the non-torpedo attacks toward the end. Some research showed this was near the end of its highly successful American cruise.
