Two Boats, also known as Two Boats Village, is a village at the foot of Green Mountain on Ascension Island. Founded in the early 19th century, it was a originally a resting point for sailors who sought to ascend the mountain. Before the village's establishment, two boats had been stuck in the area, perpendicular to the ground to provide shade for passersby, giving the new settlement the inspiration for its name. It has the island's only school, Two Boats School.
