The Amsterdam from 1990 is a replica of the mirror return ship of the same name of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). When interest in the history of the VOC and its role in the history of the Netherlands increased at the end of the 20th century, plans arose to recreate VOC ships. One of those ships is the Amsterdam. Between 1982 and 1990, a replica of this was built from iroko wood by 400 volunteers of the Stichting Amsterdam Bouwen Oostindiëvaarder (SABO). This replica has been moored since 1990 at the jetty of the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam, the former 's Lands Zeemagazijn.
