Thomas Eustace Smith (1831–1903) was an English shipping magnate[1] and Liberal Party politician.
Thomas Eustace Smith married Martha Mary Dalrymple, known as an art patron, in 1855.
Through Ashton Wentworth Dilke, who married the eldest daughter Maye (Margaret), Martha (known also as Ellen) came to meet his brother Charles Dilke.
The implications of the sex scandal involving Charles Dilke that later came to court (in the form of the divorce case between Donald Crawford and his wife Virginia, another of their daughters) later undermined the Smiths' social position, since there were broad hints of adultery between Ellen and Charles Dilke.
