The special theory of relativity is simulated in this article based on the simplest examples of the movement of barges, shuttles, and boats in an aquatic environment. Relativistic time and the relativistic effects of Einstein’s special theory of relativity – Lorentz contraction, time dilation, relativistic Doppler effects, the Skobeltsyn-Bell effect, and the relativistic addition of velocities – are simulated using elementary methods of classical physics. Lorentz transformations are obtained. Means for simulating four-dimensional space-time are shown.
