I've seen the expression hard before at Plymouth. But I've not come across the other two in that context before. I wonder if the the exclamation "Ahoy Shipmate! is a derivative.
Looks like it -
Ahoy (/əˈhɔɪ/) (listenⓘ) is a signal word used to call to a ship or boat. It is derived from the Middle English cry, 'Hoy!'.[1][better source needed] The word fell out of use at one time, but was revived when sailing became a popular sport. 'Ahoy' can also be used as a greeting, a warning, or a farewell.[citation needed] |
