This general idea (Chunnels, Bridges, converting sea to land) seems
to come up periodicially -- do some searches on http://arch.freeciv.org/
to find previous ideas/opinions.

The main issue for "default" freeciv is scale: one tile is a very large
area of land or sea for "world-sized" maps.

Eg, see http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199901/msg00220.html
and followups.  Compare also 
http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199908/msg00131.html

Of course variant scenarios/rulesets may have different scales.
