Abstract
The 1851 interference experiment with moving water carried out by Fizeau is often cited as one of the main confirmations of special relativity theory. This article argues that Fizeau was in error when he supposed that the fringe shift in his interferometer is determined by the same expression as applies in usual interferometers. That means a different, and non-relativistic, explanation of the result is possible.
