Iv'e got "Heave To", which I think is more of a sailor's cry.

[MarkRae]

Definitely "heave ho":
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/heave-ho

Heave to is more of an order that a captain would give to the crew - the sailors wouldn't cry "heave to" while they were heaving to...

[mazie]

heave-ho
sentence substitute
(Transport / Nautical Terms) a sailors' cry, as when hoisting anchor

[Dodger666]

I stand corrected!

[mazie]

I dont know why but this thread has made me titter.

[MarkRae]

Titter ye not, missus - nay, nay and thrice nay...
