Trade routes over water?
Is there a way to establish trade routes over water?
There is a friendly empire I want to trade with, but we are not on the same continent.

To supplement DMA57361's answer:
Note that ocean and land roads connect - if you've got a landlocked city with Right of Way, next to a coastal city with Cargo Docks + Right of Way, it can make a trade route to a distant city with Cargo Docks (I'm not sure if the distant city needs Right of Way too, if it's coastal.)
The most difficult thing with trade routes is really goosing the AI into building the associated buildings; the AI seems reasonably content to at least get Right of Way built, but getting it to build Cargo Docks is an exercise in frustration at lower difficulty levels.
If you're planning to trade heavily with an AI, it's a good idea to go ahead and just gift them the associated technologies (or at least trade them), to get that impediment out of the way. Note that for obvious reasons, the Roving Clans are more inclined to prioritize these techs.
