In 1918 he founded the "Bandera Polska" (Polish jack) association. In 1920 he initiated the opening of the Navy School in Tczew and the purchasing of the training sailing-ship "Lwów". He was also the first one who proposed and presented projects of expansion of the Polish fleet and the military harbor in Gdynia.
