Thomas Andrews lived for building ships. Once the Titanic and her sister ship the Olympic were released to White Star for service, he still wanted to see what he could improve. He spent much of the Titanic's voyage taking notes and inspecting things with an eye to improving Titanic and her future third sister ship, the Britannic.

I think that Cameron is showing just how devoted to this Andrews is by having him skip church services so that he can study his ship.

There have been several earlier threads on Andrews along these lines; check them out if you can. I think you'll find them interesting.

HE WAS A MEMBER AND HIS FATHER AND UNCLE WAS ALSO OF THE ULITARIAN CHURCH (ONE GOD) SO ANY OTHER SERVICE WOULD NOT BE HIS THING. THEY SUPPORTED THIS CHURCH FINANCALY EVEN DOWN TO BUYING PLANTS FOR THE FLOWER BEDS. OF WHICH IALSO HAVE THE RECIPTS.
