    Could be the 'Mountjoy' and Phoenix' which were sent to break the boom.

    O Mac The British Library has a similar version calling it the Mountjoy at the Boom all right.

    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
