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

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...

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