If any offending vessel, upon seizure by the sheriff, is in a damaged condition so that the expense of keeping the same is excessive or disproportionate, or if it is liable to be lost or suffer injury or great deterioration by being detained in custody, the court may, on the application of the sheriff or on the application of either party, order the offending vessel to be sold at public sale, without appraisement, for cash, after such advertisement and at such time and place as the court may direct; provided that prior to adjudication of the vessel at any such sale any claimant of such offending vessel may cause the same to be released from seizure and delivered to him upon appearing and giving bond in the manner hereinabove provided.
