Two Boats is a village at the foot of Green Mountain, Ascension Island, about 3 miles (4.8 km) from Wideawake Airfield. With slightly over 120 inhabitants, its the second largest settlement on the island.
History[edit]
The two boats were originally placed to provide shade for Royal Marines transporting water in the 19th century. This is why it has that name.
Main sights[edit]
Two Boats is also the site of the Two Boats Club (bar and snackbar with regular live music), a large fresh water swimming pool, children's playground, and Two Boats School, the island's only school.
