Four (or maybe six) ceremonial boats were buried near Pharaoh Seworeset III pyramyd during the XIX Century B.C. 

Quattro ( o forse sei) imbarcazioni cerimoniali furono sepolte presso la piramide del Faraone Seworeset III, nel corso del XIX Secolo A.C.

The hulls, 9 to 10m long, were assembled with wooden planks tied by vegetable ropes. 

Gli scafi, lunghi da 9m a 10m, erano costruiti con tavole di legno legate con funi vegetali.

Four hulls have been recovered: two of them are now exposed at the Archaeological Museum in Cairo. 
The others are displayed at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, and in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, USA.
