The ship was built at Hovedøen in Christiania under the direction of English shipbuilder James Robbins and was launched in 1650. She was 51.8 meters long and at that time one of the largest naval vessels in the world. She was commissioned by King Christian IV specifically to surpass the British ship HMS Sovereign of the Seas. The ship was manned by a crew of 680 and had an armament of 108 guns, surpassing Sovereign of the Seas by eight guns.
HDMS Sophia Amalia is one of two ships depicted on what is believed to be the two oldest ship portraits of Danish ships. They are in the collections of Gavnø Castle.[9]
