FAIRHAVEN — The gleaming red hull of the spanking brand-new scalloper Concordia is adding a dash of seasonal color to the Fairhaven waterfront.
Launched Dec. 2 at the Fairhaven Shipyard, where it was built, the 95-footer is owned by veteran fisherman Malvin Kvilhaug and will be skippered by his son Brian.
