According to eyewitness  testimony, though, it was Titanic designer Thomas Andrews of Harland  & Wolff Shipyards, not Captain Smith, who presented this assessment  to the Captain, senior officers, and Bruce Ismay. Indeed, the  character of Thomas Andrews, who played a key role in the events  that night, does not seem to be portrayed in the movie at all.
