Andrews was last seen by John Stewart, a steward on the ship at approximately 2:10 AM.(ten minutes before the Titanic fully sank into the Atlantic). Andrews was standing alone in the first class smoking room staring at a painting, "Plymouth Harbour", above the fireplace, arms folded over his chest, his lifejacket lying on a nearby table. The painting depicted the entrance to Plymouth Sound, which Titanic had been expected to visit on her return voyage. Andrews went down with the Titanic and his body was never recovered
