Het Wapen van Amsterdam is the largest still sailing salon boat in Amsterdam and its surroundings. The boat dates back to 1948 and was designed by Herrn Dr. Ryniker, a shipbuilding engineer from Basel, commissioned by the Berner Alpenbahn-Gesellschaft in Bern. The ship was manufactured by the shipyard Eugen Herbosch in Antwerp. For over 50 years, the ship operated on the Thuner- and Brienzersee with Interlaken as its homeport. The ship was christened as MS Rothorn on May 22, 1950.

In 2001, the ship was purchased by Rederij de Nederlanden. The ship was no longer in operation. Under the direction of Rederij de Nederlanden, a ship designer developed a plan for the restoration. Shipyard Boxce manufactured the necessary steelwork and motor installation. The company H20P was responsible for the carpentry, all done in-house and under the supervision of Klaas Pater. On September 10, 2004, Het Wapen van Amsterdam was christened by the dijkgraaf Johan de Bondt at the Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam.
