Did that guy actually say: "Canon maritime binoculars"?
As in, a pair of identical or mirror-symmetrical telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction to give the
viewer a three-dimensional image?
In that case he might want to take it back to the shop, I think a prism needs to be re-aligned.
