Could be the 'Mountjoy' and Phoenix' which were sent to break the boom.
Sharon Corbet said:
O Mac The British Library has a similar version calling it the Mountjoy at the Boom all right.
beachcomber australia said:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Derry says "HMS Dartmouth fires at shore batteries while Mountjoy rams through the boom." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Mountjoy_at_the_boom.jpg "... on 28 July 1689, Kirke sent four ships to the mouth of the River Foyle to try to bring food into Derry. These were HMS Dartmouth and three merchant ships: Mountjoy from Londonderry, and Phoenix from Coleraine, and Jerusalem, Dartmouth, under Captain John Leake, engaged the shore batteries, while Mountjoy, commanded by her Master Michael Browning, rammed and breached the boom, whereupon Mountjoy and Phoenix sailed up to Derry, unloading many tons of food. ..." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Derry#The_relief_of_the_city
O Mac said:
Sharon Corbet Your ships seem to have an uphill struggle.

"Mr Churchill criticized" - he was then British Home Secretary - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/10871021? "...Mr Churchill was early on the scene. He walked about within range of anarchist bullets, directing the operations of the police, and when the house caught fire he refused to allow the brigade to commence operations until the building was past serving ..."

The Siege of Hurley's Mill

Niall McAuley said:
The evicting force came in the early forenoon to find the house locked and barricaded against them, while the yards and adjoining fields were crowded with sympathetic neighbours and townspeople who had been summoned by the ringing of Church bells and blowing of horns. To a demand for possession, Tim Hurley replied that if they wanted possession they'd have to fight for it. When the bailiffs rushed with a battering ram against the shuttered parlour window, they were met with showers of scalding water from the upstairs windows. The eviction failed! www.failteromhat.com/castleviewevictions.php

Niall McAuley Thanks Niall. Good clear account, but no light cast on the Land League Hut...
Niall McAuley said:
Arrangements had been made to build a hut for the evicted tenant if the eviction were successful, and in the evening about two thousand persons assembled in the town with thirty carts, and conveyed the materials of the hut to Hurley's holding, near Hurley's holding, near which they erected it. Bands were in attendance, and the proceedings were marked by great rejoicings. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/75850828
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley Excellent! That explains the hut then - well done, Trove! And you too, Niall... :)
