The Amsterdam from 1990 is a replica of the mirror return ship of the same name of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). When, at the end of the 20th century, interest in the history of the VOC and its role in the history of the Netherlands increased, plans were made to rebuild 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). Since 1990, this replica has been moored at the jetty of the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam, the former 's Lands Zeemagazijn.

The Rietlandpark in Amsterdam East was given its name in 2005 and is named after the Stads Rietlanden. Until around 1880, this was an undeveloped, partly swampy and reed-covered area outside the dikes. At the end of the 19th century, trading areas and a railway marshalling yard were built here as the centre of the Eastern Docklands. Until the 1940s, there was also a locomotive depot of the Dutch Railways here. In the 1980s, the site fell out of use and was demolished around 1990.
