Few people who were aboard the Titanic have become the subject of as many legends as Thomas Andrews - her shipbuilder, who stood in the Smoking Room as the ship broke apart and slipped beneath the waves. But how much of that is true? Was Andrews the real designer of the ship? Where was Andrews during the sinking? In this documentary, we meet the man behind the legends, and follow his footsteps, recounting the known sightings of Andrews from when he left his home in Belfast for the last time to the last time he was seen as the ship foundered.

Working with the authors and historians behind "On A Sea of Glass" and the forthcoming "Recreating Titanic and Her Sisters: A Visual History", considered by many to be the premier title on the events of the voyage, we aim here to separate the fact from the legend.

A huge Thank-You to the Belfast Titanic Society, who helped with some of the research and bringing the local perspective of Thomas Andrews to this portrait. For more information on their wonderful society, visit them at https://www.belfast-titanic.com/
