Sailing On: Has the Galaxy found a new buyer?

Rumour from a reliable source has reached us that the Galaxy – the fabulous three sim long cruise ship created by Bill Stirling – may have found a buyer.

You may recall that howls went up around the grid – and on various forums at SLU Universe and XStreetSL, for example- when it was announced at the weekend that if no buyer could be found, the Galaxy would have to be deleted and the sims sold.  And rightly too, for the Galaxy is a Second Life icon.

But now there is a rumopur that such a buyer has come forward and, moreover, that a plan is being formulated that would see not only the ship survive, but that would keep the crew in place too.

All us here are keeping our fingers crossed that the rumour will prove true – and wish good luck to Bill Stirling, the captain, the crew and the putative new owner!
