I can not help you with sources in English language but I am aware at least the following airships of the Marine flying missions in the east (Baltic Sea):

LZ 28 (L 5) - lost against the Russian defence on 7. August 1915 near Plungjany.

LZ 84 (L 38) - lost during bombing mission because of snow load on 29. December 1916.

Schütte-Lanz SL 3 - lost after rudder failure in crash landing in East Prussia on 1. May 1916.

Schütte-Lanz SL 4 - destroyed by storm in hangar on 11. December 1915, took part in operations against island Ösel and others.

Schütte-Lanz SL 8 - too part in the Ösel offensive.

Schütte-Lanz SL 9 - 3 missions in the Baltic Sea but hit by lightning and burned on 30. March 1917.

Parseval PL 6 - made advertising for chocolate enterprise before the war but was taken over by the Marine and used for 4 missions in the east (Baltic Sea).

PL 19 (Marine??) - only one attack in the east against Libau.
