I have bad news. I could not export a correct version of that model to detach the flagpole.
I tried first with OBJ export, but the model is somehow corrupted (in Maya looks like this, 3DS Max doesn’t even open it):
Then I tried VRML export, and at first the model looked ok, then I realized it’s missing geometry: parts of the figurehead, several cannons, the lower part of the masts, the cabin in the stern, and maybe others I didn’t notice.
P.S. I see that one of your sailors is flying! I think this ship was one of those with a wrong sailorpoints file, and I had already fixed it in the past. –> Download the new file here <– and put it in Age of Pirates 2\RESOURCE\MODELS\Ships\SAILORSPOINTS.
