I'm going to play an archipelago map. The problem is that water tiles seem so useless in Civ 5. They only give one food and one gold. The only two things I recall that can help to improve them is lighthouse for additional food and a colossus for gold, but the latter sadly just works for that one city.
Are there any other ways improving water tiles, or shall I go more for the specialist economy?

Technologies: I believe as you get higher technologies, the output of water tiles will be improved as well.EDIT: I think I was mistaken about this (unfortunately can't load the game up at work).
