If it appears to the court in which the action is pending, or the judge thereof, that the liens against the boat or vessel can be satisfied by a sale of the tackle, apparel and furniture, or a part thereof, or a fractional share in such boat or vessel, the court or judge may modify the order of sale accordingly. If in pursuance of such order a sale is made of a fractional share in such boat or vessel, the purchaser shall hold such share jointly with the other owners.
